Have you ever wondered how the brain regulates sexual behavior, controls body weight, or copes with stress? The answers to these questions and many more can be found in the fascinating field of neuroendocrinology. This revised edition, written by renowned experts Michael Wilkinson and Richard E. Brown, reflects the significant advances made in the study of neuroendocrinology over the last twenty years.
The hypothalamus plays a crucial role in regulating hormone secretion from the endocrine glands. Recent discoveries have revealed novel sites of hormone release, including bone, heart, skeletal muscle, and liver. This text delves into the importance of these findings and their implications for our understanding of neuroendocrinology.
The book explores the complex relationships between steroid hormone, neurotransmitter, and peptide receptors, and the molecular responses of target tissues. This includes the significant influence of changes in gene expression on the neuroendocrine brain.
Neuropeptides have been found to have a profound impact on behavior, and this text sheds light on their mechanisms of action. From their role in regulating emotions to their influence on motivation, neuropeptides are an essential aspect of neuroendocrinology.
This comprehensive guide is an ideal resource for undergraduate and graduate students of neuroscience, psychology, biology, and physiology. With its inclusion of new full-color figures and review and essay questions for each chapter, it provides a complete learning experience for those seeking to understand the intricacies of neuroendocrinology.
