Introduction to Neuroendocrinology - Brown Richard
How does the brain regulate sexual behavior, or control our body weight? Addressing these questions and many more besides, this thoroughly revised new edition reflects the significant advances that have been made in the study of neuroendocrinology over the last twenty years. How do we cope with stress?
The role of steroid hormone, neurotransmitter and peptide receptors, and the molecular responses of target tissues, is integrated into the discussion of the neuroendocrine brain, especially through changes in gene expression. The text examines the importance of the hypothalamus in regulating hormone secretion from the endocrine glands, describing novel sites of hormone release including bone, heart, skeletal muscle and liver. Particular attention is attached to neuropeptides, including their profound influence on behavior.
