Hormones, Brain And Behavior

Hormones, Brain, and Behavior Second Edition is a comprehensive work discussing the effect of hormones on the brain and, subsequently, behavior. This major reference work has 106 chapters covering a broad range of topics with an extensive discussion of the effects of hormones on insects, fish, amphibians, birds, rodents, and humans. To truly understand all aspects of our behavior, we must take every influence (including the hormonal influences) into consideration. Donald Pfaff and a number of well-qualified editors examine and discuss how we are influenced by hormonal factors, offering insight, and information on the lives of a variety of species.Hormones, Brain, and Behavior offers the reader comprehensive coverage of growing field of research, with a state-of-the-art overview of hormonally-mediated behaviors. This reference provides unique treatment of all major vertebrate and invertebrate model systems with excellent opportunities for relating behavior to molecular genetics. The topics cover an unusual breadth (from molecules to ecophysiology), ranging from basic science to clinical research, making this reference of interest to a broad range of scientists in a variety of fields.Available online via ScienceDirect, with limited edition print version. - Comprehensive coverage of a growing field of research- Unique treatment of all major vertebrate and invertebrate model systems with excellent opportunites for relating behavior to molecular genetics- Covers an unusual breadth ranging from molecules to ecophysiology, and from basic science to clinical research

The Encyclopedia Of Hormones

This set provides detailed information on the biology and cellular physiology of all known hormones in vertebrates, insects, and plants. Authored by researchers from around the world, the 300 articles focus on the function and physiology of specific hormones, their receptors and signaling pathways, and important diseases associated with deficiency or excess. Written on a scholarly level, each article provides an overview of the topic, a brief glossary of important terms, cross references to related articles, and a current bibliography for further reading. Many of the terms and definitions are repeated in the extensive glossary provided at the end of the set. Although the articles are arranged alphabetically by title, the extensive index enables the user to pinpoint specific information. Users expecting to see a general overview of each hormone will be disappointed. Geared toward students and researchers in the life sciences, this set focuses on the physiology of hormones at the cellular and molecular levels. It differs from most endocrinology handbooks and textbooks in that its scope goes beyond animal hormones to include insects and plants, thus making it a unique and comprehensive reference resource for a rapidly changing field.
