1. What did Robert Sapolski initially note in his studies of baboons in terms of social rank?
How did social rank specifically impact his baboons stress?
Firstly, he decided to do testing on baboons because he noticed that baboons usually spend around 3 hours finding food for the day than the rest of the time they did whatever, that’s we he noticed more about the baboons. He found out that they all seemed to fight or stress one another out the rest of the day. By doing more studying, he found out that the dominant ones were the males and that they were less likely to get messed with. The lower rank/subordinate baboons were likely to be picked on and he found that they had high blood pressure.

The peptic ulcers are caused by the bacteria. However, stress can take a part in causing these peptic ulcers. Being able to control stress can help control symptoms.
6. How does stress specifically impact the brain in terms of both brain chemistry, memory and depression.
Having lots and lots of stress has known to lead to losing brain cells. An example of memory loss he gave is when college students study hard all night for a test and they are stressed out the whole night and often forget all the stuff they studied for the night before. Studies show that when you’re stressed, electrical signals in the brain associated with memories weaken while areas in the brain associated with emotions strengthen.
7. What lesson did Sapolsky learn when half his original baboon troop died?
First off, the troop all got into a dumpster of human food and decided to eat it. Over half of them died and he was very angry. However, I found out something, he found out that the ones that survived were the kind males that were very nice and mellow. The ones that were dead were the mean aggressive ones, after everything there were twice as many girls than
