From the rear cover
Neuroendocrinology: An Integrated Approach provides an introduction to neuroendocrinology from a zoological and evolutionary perspective. Clearly structured, the book covers the evolution, development and description of the neuroendocrine system throughout the animal kingdom.
Taking a modern approach to the subject, the text opens with a discussion on the history of neuroendocrinology and the structure of early neuroendocrine systems in primitive animals. The evolution of ancestral neuroendocrine systems is then traced to living species. With this background in place, the physiology of the neuroendocrine circuits regulating metabolism, biorhythms, stress and reproduction across the animal kingdom are examined. The book ends with chapters on how the neuroendocrine system is regulated by pheromones and xenobiotics in the environment.
This book is an invaluable reference for students taking courses in Neuroendocrinology and Endocrinology as well as those who work in Genomics based drug design and biotech companies based on neurohormones.
- An integrated genes-to-environment approach.
- Includes profiles sections written by leaders in the field highlighting unusual aspects of neuroendocrine physiology
- A unique section on the actions of environmental chemicals in neuroendocrine systems of various species.
