Molecular & Cellular Basis of Social Behavior in Vertebrates

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Seven contributions review current knowledge of the cellular and biochemical mechanisms which control social behaviors in vertebrates. Topics include the endocrine rhythms of hormones, the anatomical localization of the steroid-sensitive centers, the steroid receptors and their metabolism. The consequences of steroid action in the brain and the neurochemical mechanisms of behavior are reviewed in two chapters on neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. The changes in neuronal circuitry in relationship with behavior and the control of behavior by pheromones are covered.
