Inspired by Carlos Beyer's 50 years of pioneering research and
influence on his students and colleagues, Behavioral
Neuroendocrinology builds upon Beyer's fundamental discoveries and
concepts as well as their widespread implications. It presents
original research and reviews on mechanisms - genomic and
non-genomic - of steroid and protein hormone action; the role of
steroid metabolism, especially aromatization, protein
phosphorylation, and neurotransmitter action in mediating
reproductive behavior and sexual differentiation; and brain and
spinal cord mechanisms in sexual behavior and analgesia. This book
presents a rich diversity of topics - lactation, maternal behavior,
pheromone action, chronobiology, allodynia, angiogenesis, prostate
physiology, sexual motivation, and specific brain systems,
including vomeronasal system, cerebellum, preoptic area,
hypothalamus, and spinal cord. This book brings together, in one
source, an international "family" of researchers whose work has
evolved in diverse but related ways from a seminal set of
discoveries and concepts in behavioral neuroendocrinology.
This fascinating and comprehensive book is the first to explore the
complex biological process behind orgasm. Here, sexuality
researcher and nurse Beverly Whipple, coauthor of the international
best-selling book The G Spot and Other Discoveries about Human
Sexuality, joins neuroscientist Barry R. Komisaruk and
endocrinologist Carlos Beyer-Flores to view orgasm through the
lenses of behavioral neuroscience along with cognitive and
physiological sciences. The authors explain how and why orgasms
happen, why they fail, and what brain and body events are put into
play at the moment of orgasm. No topic is left unexplored, as the
book describes the genitalia-brain connection, how the brain
produces orgasms, how aging affects orgasm, and the effects of
prescription medication, street drugs, hormones, disorders, and
diseases. There are fascinating explanations of orgasms - in
persons after spinal cord injury, in epileptics during seizures,
and in transsexual men with surgically created vaginas. Covering
every type of sexual peak experience in women and men - from
intense to phantom - this informative and entertaining work
illuminates the hows, whats, and wherefores of orgasm.
