Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This book presents cutting edge research on the basic neurobiology
of parental behavior as it relates to behavioral disorders,
including postpartum depression, anxiety, and inadequate parental
bonding to infants. Internationally recognized basic and clinical
researchers present new research findings in humans and animals
that elucidate the roles of the brain, physiological state, genes
and environment in maternal and paternal care. By bridging the gap
between basic and clinical research, new understandings of how the
biology of the brain and the reproductive state of the parent
impact their mental health and the successful rearing of young
emerge.
* Presents the neural network of motherhood based on fundamental
and functional MRI studies of parental care - from rodents to
humans
* Discusses the role of gene-environment interactions in
parenting
* Offers parenting strategies and priorities in raising young
* Discusses maternal defense - the neurobiology of maternal
protection
* Examines the significance and underlying causes of postpartum
depression
* Discusses parenting and anxiety - neurobiological basis for
reductions during the postpartum period
* Also includes the neurobiology of fatherhood - a fresh
evolutionary and biological perspective on paternal behavior
* Presents information on maternal neuroplasticity - how
reproductive history changes the maternal brain
* Translates research - internationally renowned researchers'
insights into common factors that regulate mammalian parenting
