Neuroplasticity, Development, and Steroid Hormone Action (Hardcover)

Neuroplasticity, Development, and Steroid Hormone Action explores the effects of steroid hormones on brain development, function, and aging and is a compilation of cutting-edge research of concern to the disciplines of neurobiology, neuroendocrinology, endocrinology, and developmental biology. The experimental approaches covered range from molecular to behavioral and endocrine to neurobiological. The authors are noted neurobiologists and active researchers from the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom.

Divided into five sections and containing scientific photographs, line drawings, tables, color illustrations, and graphs, this interesting and timely text covers the neuroplastic effects of steroid hormones throughout the lifetime of various animal models, such as bees, fish, lizards, turtles, birds, mice, rats, and primates. These sections focus on:
Ÿ The development and differentiation of neuroendocrine systems
Ÿ Steroid dependent brain differentiation
Ÿ The central regulation of hormone secretion
Ÿ Steroid hormones and neuroplasticity in the mature brain
Ÿ Steroid mediated mechanisms of cell growth and survival
