Behavioral Neuroendocrinology

Inspired by Carlos Beyerâs 50 years of pioneering research and influence on his students and colleagues Behavioral Neuroendocrinology builds upon Beyerâs fundamental discoveries and concepts as well as their widespread implications. It presents original research and reviews on mechanisms â genomic and non-genomic â of steroid and protein hormone action; the role of steroid metabolism especially aromatization protein phosphorylation and neurotransmitter action in mediating reproductive behavior and sexual differentiation; and brain and spinal cord mechanisms in sexual behavior and analgesia. This book presents a rich diversity of topics â lactation maternal behavior pheromone action chronobiology allodynia angiogenesis prostate physiology sexual motivation and specific brain systems including vomeronasal system cerebellum preoptic area hypothalamus and spinal cord. This book brings together in one source an international family of researchers whose work has evolved in diverse but related ways from a seminal set of discoveries and concepts in behavioral neuroendocrinology. .
