Product Description
This text introduces underlying principles of the endocrine regulation of behavior in animals and humans. Every chapter begins by stating a principle, followed by specific examples of hormone actions derived from scientific experiments and clinical observations, and concludes with a few challenging unanswered questions. The reference source Hormones, Brain & Behavior identified this field as rapidly expanding within neurobiology and endocrinology. Now, this well-illustrated and referenced text will serve students from undergraduate school to medical school as they learn this new discipline.
* Uniform presentation of material across all chapter, with each chapter addressing a key principle, illustrated by basic experimental and clinical examples
* Includes user-friendly features such as boxed figures with extended captions and references, numerous clinical notes, and a comprehensive list of abbreviations
* Illustrations highlight both the clinical and basic science information

summary of hormone ideas February 17, 2007
The book explains the main hormones found in humans, and their role in regulating various conditions. These include the sex hormones, which determine many male and female behaviours in several species. Experimental data is summarised, and typically is for rats and mice.
Another chapter delves into how changing hormone levels as the individual ages can alter behaviour. One key example for humans is menopause. Another that is discussed is the androgen decline in men.
The entire text should be considered a summary of knowledge in this field. The authors emphasise that it is meant as a quick review, letting the reader understand the key ideas, without having to conduct a comprehensive study.
