Sexual Differentiation of the Brain

Akira Matsumoto
4.9/5 (10353 ratings)
Description:Sexual difference in the brain has long been one of the more intriguing research areas in the field of neuroscience. This thorough and comprehensive text uncovers and explains recent neurobiological and molecular biological studies in the field of neuroscience as they relate to the mechanisms underlying sexual differentiation of the brain.Attempts have been made to clarify sex differences in the human brain using noninvasive techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging. Sexual Differentiation of the Brain thoroughly examines these techniques and findings, providing an up-to-date, comprehensive overview written by leading researchers in the field.Just a few of the topics addressed include genetic contributions to the sexual differentiation of behavior; in-vitro studies of the effects of estrogen on estrogen receptor-transfected neuroblastoma cells; and the evolution of brain mechanisms controlling sexual behavior. Other topics include sexual differentiation of neural circuitry in the hypothalamus; structural sex differences in the mammalian brain; and sexual differentiation of cognitive functions in humans.With its revealing and informative chapters, as well as provocative treatment of the subject matter, Sexual Differentiation of the Brain helps shed new light on one of the most fascinating areas of brain research."…an excellent book that should be on the shelves of all researchers and students who study sexual differentiation of the brain. It is up to date, well illustrated and well written. It addresses provocative and sometimes controversial issues in a well-reasoned and dispassionate manner…editors and contributors have succeeded in compiling a volume that honors the distinguished scientist to whom it is dedicated."--William Byne, Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism"…presents an excellent discussion of genetic versus hormonal contributions to brain organization…a succinctly informative discussion of the two major types of influences that hormones have upon the human brain and behavior…In summary, [the book] provides the researcher or academician with a comprehensive review of recent findings relating to endocrine influences underlying the sexual dimorphism of neural development and synapse formation, predominantly in species other than humans."- Journal of the International Neuropsychological SocietyWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
