About this title

Synopsis

Intended for graduate students & upper level undergraduates, this textbook describes the interaction of hormones and behavior from diverse perspectives. It draws on a historical perspective, presenting current hypotheses and theories in context of their historical origins, and gives detailed information about the scientists who laid the foundation for modern studies. While the subject involves genetic, molecular, and cellular levels of analysis, Nelson (psychology & neuroscience, Ohio State U.) has kept discussion of endocrine physiology & biochemistry down to a minimum to make the text more accessible to a wider range of readers. Each chapter ends with a summary, questions for discussion, and a short list of suggested readings. Updates in this third edition include discussion of body mass regulation & circadian rhythm research. A student CD-ROM with tutorials & videos is included.
