Handbook of Neuroendocrinology
Neuroendocrinology, the discipline concerned with how the nervous system controls hormonal secretion and how hormones control the brain, is pivotal to physiology and medicine. Neuroendocrinology has disclosed and underpins fundamental physiological, molecular biological and genetic principles such as the regulation of gene transcription and translation, the mechanisms of chemical neurotransmission and intracellular and systemic feedback control systems. Reproduction, growth, stress, aggression, metabolism, birth, feeding and drinking and blood pressure are some of the bodily functions that are triggered and/or controlled by neuroendocrine systems. In turn, neuroendocrine dysfunction due to genetic or other deficits can lead, for example, to infertility, impotence, precocious or delayed puberty, defective or excessive growth, obesity and anorexia, Cushing's Syndrome, hypertension or thyroid disorders. These as well as neuroendocrine tumors are some of the themes covered in the 36 chapters of the Handbook. Drafted by internationally acknowledged experts in the field, the Handbook chapters feature detailed up-to-date bibliographies as well as "how do we know?" call out sections that highlight the experimental or technical foundations for major concepts, principles, or methodological advances in each area. Aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty in neuroscience, medicine, endocrinology, psychiatry, psychology and cognate disciplines, the Handbook of Neuroendocrinology satisfies an unmet need that will prove useful at the laboratory bench as well as in the office. - The most comprehensive up-to-date source covering basic principles, neural regulation, hormone/brain function and behavior, and neuroendocrine pathology - "How do we know?" callout sections highlight core concepts - Heavily illustrated with over 350 figures, 4-color throughout

The functional and anatomical interactions between the endocrine system and the nervous system are studied under the field of neuroendocrinology. The neuroendocrine system is responsible for maintaining homeostasis, and managing reproduction, eating and drinking behavior, metabolism, energy utilization, and blood pressure. The advances in neuroendocrinology are essential to the study and management of neurobiological brain disorders. The endocrine system is made up of several glands which are responsible for the production and secretion of different hormones. The hypothalamus is an integral part of the neuroendocrine system. It connects the nervous system to the endocrine system through the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland consists of two portions, the anterior pituitary gland and the posterior pituitary gland. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of neuroendocrinology. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. Researchers and students in this field will be assisted by this book.
