Neurobiological Effects of Sex Steroid Hormones describes the neurobiological basis for the understanding of how sex steroid hormones, oestrogen and testosterone, interact with parts of the brain. The contributors have all made significant advances in the understanding of how these steroids regulate neural function, and how this activity is translated into reproductive behaviours necessary for the propagation of the species. This book covers a broad range of topics, extending from the molecular and cellular processes, through the action of steroids on neurotransmission, all the way to defining the brain circuitry involved in both male and female behaviour. This volume presents a snapshot of the rapidly advancing field of reproductive neuroendocrinology by the investigators who are most intimately involved with the discoveries.

Industry Reviews

'... a wealth of recent information ... an extremely valuable source of material for anyone needing an expert and readily accessible account of the latest developments in one or more particular aspects of the field.' J. B. Wakerley, Experimental Physiology '... stands out from the usual collection of scientific papers.' Bonny Pilo, Journal of Animal Morphology and Physiology 'In this timely book, Micevych and Hammer have assembled an impressive collection of work ... I found the vast range of new materials marshalled in the book fascinating and intellectually challenging.' Mei-Fang Cheng, Animal Behaviour
