A single volume of 41 articles, Hormone/Behavior Relations of Clinical Importance is an authoritative selection of relevant chapters from the Hormones Brain and Behavior 2e MRW, the most comprehensive source of neuroendocrinological information assembled to date (AP July 2009).

The study of hormones as they have an effect on the brain and, due to this fact, behavior is a central topic in neuroscience, endocrinology and psychiatry. This volume offers an overview of neuroendocrinological topics, approaching the subject from the perspective of hormone-brain function, hormone-behavior relations, sex differences, and the have an effect on on quite a lot of diseases/pathologies. Many basic human behavioral functions are subject to the influence of hormones – sexual orientation, the experience of pain, fertility, immunity – as are clinical conditions such as diabetes, substance abuse disorder, eating disorders, PTSD, TBI, pain, Alzheimer’s, stress/anxiety, affective disorders, and more.

These issues and more are covered, and there is simply no other current single-volume reference with such comprehensive coverage and depth.

A collection of articles reviewing our fundamental knowledge of neuroendocrinology, the book provides an essential, affordable reference for researchers, clinicians and graduate students in the area.

– Provides more fully vetted expert knowledge than any existing work with broad appeal for america, UK and Europe, appropriately crediting the contributions to research in those regions
– Heavily illustrated with 150 figures, approximately 50 in color, presenting the material in the most visually useful form for the reader
– Fully explores quite a lot of clinical conditions associated with the hormones and the brain (PTSD, TBI, Stress & Anxiety, eating disorders, diabetes, addictive disorders, Alzheimer’s, affective disorders)
– Broad coverage of disorders makes the volume relevant to clinicians in addition to researchers and basic scientists
