Behavioral Endocrinology, Second Edition

This comprehensive guide to Behavioral Endocrinology provides a detailed understanding of how hormones affect cells, altering the behavior of animals, including humans.

With a broad continuum of levels of analysis, from molecular to evolutionary, the book covers genes, cell structure, endocrine organs, individual behavior, social hierarchies, and mating systems.

The second edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect recent developments in genetics and molecular biology, with four new chapters on cutting-edge techniques, psychoneuroimmunology, sensorimotor function, and cognitive function in nonhuman animals.

Written by leading investigators in the field, this book is an essential resource for researchers, students, and anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between hormones and behavior.
