This book provides an
introduction to the underlying principles of endocrine regulation of behavior
- a newly emerging area of research within neurobiology and endocrinology. It
addresses the properties of hormone/behavior relations, including the
influence of family background, timing issues, neuroanatomical
features, cellular mechanisms, and the importance of environmental context
and evolution. With user-friendly features such as boxed figures with
extended captions and references, numerous clinical notes, and a
comprehensive list of abbreviations, this volume is an ideal introduction to
a rapidly extending field of study. |
