A single volume of 31 articles, Mechanisms of Hormone Actions on
Behavior is an authoritative selection of relevant chapters from
the Hormones Brain and Behavior 2e MRW, the most comprehensive
source of neuroendocrinological information assembled to date (AP
June 2009).
The study of hormones as they impact the brain and, subsequently,
behavior is a central topic in neuroscience, endocrinology and
psychiatry. This volume offers an overview of neuroendocrinological
topics, approaching the subject from the perspective of the
mechanisms which control hormone actions on behavior. Female, male
and stress hormones are discussed at the cellular, behavioral and
developmental level, and sexual differentiation of the development
of hormone-dependent neuronal systems,
neuropeptides/neuromodulators, and steroid-inducedneuroplasticity
are addressed. There is simply no other current single-volume
reference with such comprehensive coverage and depth.
Authors selected are the internationally renowned experts for the
particular topics on which they write, and the volume is richly
illustrated with over 175 figures (over 50 in color). A collection
of articles reviewing our fundamental knowledge of the mechanisms
of neuroendocrinology, the book provides an essential, affordable
reference for researchers, clinicians and graduate students in the
area.
- The most comprehensive single-volume source of up-to-date data on
the mechanisms behind neuroendocrinology, with review articles
covering x, y z
- Chapters synthesize information otherwise dispersed across a
number of journal articles and book chapters, thus saving
researchers the time consuming process of finding and integrating
this information themselves
- Offering outstanding scholarship, each chapter is written by an
expert in the topic area and approximately 35% of chapters are
written by international contributors
- Provides more fully vetted expert knowledge than any existing
work with broad appeal for the US, UK and Europe, accurately
crediting the contributions to research in those regions
- Heavily illustrated with 175 figures, approximately 54 in
color
- Presents material in most visually useful form for the reader
