Book Selected Topics in Neuroendocrinology

Download or read book Selected Topics in Neuroendocrinology written by Joy Foster and published by . This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to present significant topics in neuroendocrinology. The comprehension of the neuroendocrine system presents an insight into a broad spectrum of bodily and mental processes. This book serves as a brief guide encompassing updated information regarding the function of the endocrine glands and organs in relation with neuropeptides, neurotransmitters, and behavioral manifestations. Several distinct forms of stress response, for example cognitive changes and anxiety, have been intrinsic to other species as well as to us. These mechanisms particularly involve intricate interactions among emotional, behavioral and physical processes in human beings. This book presents information regarding peptide hormones, i.e. vasopressin and oxytocin, and how analyses of these neuropeptides enhance our comprehension of social and other behaviors along with information regarding the impacts of these neuromodulators on sexual behavior and water balance in the body.

Book Methods in Neuroendocrinology

Download or read book Methods in Neuroendocrinology written by Louis D. Van de Kar and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1998-06-04 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Going beyond step-by-step descriptions of how to perform techniques, Methods in Neuroendocrinology examines the questions that are being asked in the field, what problems need to be overcome, and what the limits of interpretation are involved in each approach. The experimental approaches described in this book merge endocrine and neuroscientific research and offer insight into the many disciplines involved. Demonstrating what can be learned from applying different approaches to neuroendocrine research, Methods in Neuroendocrinology leads the reader from elementary techniques to more complex methods for examining neuroendocrine function. The research methodology outlined addresses four main questions: (1) What are the cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for the synthesis and secretion of hormones? (2) How do other cells influence neuroendocrine control mechanisms? (3) How do hormones feed back on their neuroendocrine regulatory neurons? (4) How can we use hormones as indicators of specific changes in neuroendocrine control sites in the brain? Much more than a "cookbook", this is a resource for every researcher who wants to pursue new areas of inquiry in the science of neuroendocrinology.

Book excerpt: The Routledge International Handbook of Social Neuroendocrinology is an authoritative reference work providing a balanced overview of current scholarship spanning the full breadth of the rapidly developing field of social neuroendocrinology. Considering the relationships between hormones, the brain, and social behavior, this collection brings together groundbreaking research in the field for the first time. Featuring 39 chapters written by leading researchers, the handbook offers impressive breadth of coverage. It begins with an overview of the history of social neuroendocrinology before discussing its methodological foundations and challenges. Other topics covered include state-of-the-art research on dominance and aggression; social affiliation; reproduction and pair bonding (e.g., sexual behavior, sexual orientation, romantic relationships); pregnancy and parenting; stress and emotion; cognition and decision making; social development; and mental and physical health. The handbook adopts a lifespan approach to the study of social neuroendocrinology throughout, covering the role that hormones play during gestation, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. It also illustrates the evolutionary forces that have shaped hormone-behavior associations across species, including research on humans, non-human primates, birds, and rodents. The handbook will serve as an authoritative reference work for researchers, students, and others intrigued by this topic, while also inspiring new lines of research on interactions among hormones, brain, and behavior in social contexts.

Book Recombinant DNA Technologies in Neuroendocrinology

Download or read book Recombinant DNA Technologies in Neuroendocrinology written by Hiroo Imura and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume covers new aspects and future directions in molecular neuroendocrinology, an important and rapidly growing area in neuroendocrinology. Among the various neurotransmitters or neuromodulators that play an important role in the control of endocrine functions, neuropeptides and related proteins have drawn special attention because of their diversity and complexity in action. More recently, molecular biology has become an essential tool of research in this area. Various genes encoding neuropeptides and other related pro- teins have been cloned, and the regulation of expression of these genes has been studied extensively. Transgenic animals have been used in studying the function of the gene in que- stion. In-situ hybridization is being applied to localize the site of production and analyze the regulation of pro- duction of peptides or proteins.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beautiful town of Cavtat near Dubvronic, Yugoslavia was the site of the twelfth meeting of the International Foundation for Biochemical Endocrinology. It was sponsored by the Serbian Academy for Sciences and Arts and by the Foundation. The Croatia Hotel in Cavtat was a splendid place for a meeting. The presentation of the subject matter relating to "Neuroendocrine Correlates of Stress" was interesting and informa tive. The topics included many forms of stress, their mediators and responses. They included: releasing factors; neurotransmitters in the hypothalamus; role of noradrenal ine; the reaction of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical axis to stress; immunological stress; thermal stress; immobil ization stress; peptides in shock; stress-induced prolactin; stress and acupuncture; stress and behavior; spinal cord transection and stress; electroconvulsive stress; neuroendocrine cells and stress; protein kinase as a signal transducer; the effects of constant 1 ight and darkness on the pineal; sleep, stress and ovarian function; and finally, hormonal response to exercise. Subsequently, the papers presented were rewritten for inclusion in this monograph. The Chairmen for the sessions at Cavtat were K. McKerns and Stefan Manolov, V. Chong-Li and L. Rakic, S. Feldman and R. Mil in, M. Lee and V. Liposits. The next meeting of the Foundation will be held in Edinburgh near the end of September, 1985. The topic will be "Neuroendocrine Molecular Biology" with Professor George Fink as Honorary Chairman of the local organizing committee.
