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.
Modern neuroscience has presented new opportunities for exploring
the molecular and neural mechanisms controlling specific social
responses. This book reviews insights into the neural circuits
underlying a particularly fascinating form of social interaction,
parental behavior. This book presents a detailed review of maternal
and paternal behavior of particular mammalian species. It offer
neuroscientists a spectrum of specific mammals that can be used as
experimental models to explore particular topics on the functions
of the nervous system. It shows that results coming from the
laboratory can be translated into useful information for raising
mammals on the farm, and it stimulates biologists to gain insights
into the underpinnings of the complex mechanisms governing
mammalian behavior in the wild. It also discusses the implications
of this research for human parental behavior.
