This text discusses the important role of steroids and
neuropeptides in the regulation of behavior. The guiding principle
behind the discussion is the concept of using good model animal
systems to help us to understand how hormones influence the brain.
The book emphasizes that steroids, and peptides or neuropeptides
affect behavior by acting directly on the brain, and that common
neural circuits underlie a variety of different central motive
states. The first chapter focuses on developmental periods and
sexually dimorphic behaviors; the second discusses sodium and water
appetite, and ingestion; the third deals with appetite, food
selection and ingestion. The fourth chapter examines how hormones
influence parental behavior; the fifth is on fear and stress. The
last chapter deals with biological clocks and endogenous rhythms.
Senior undergraduate and graduate students in neuroscience,
endocrinology, and physiology will find this text a useful guide to
the role of hormones in behavior.
