Model Animals in Neuroendocrinology: From Worm to Mouse to Man offers
a masterclass on the opportunities that different model animals offer to
the basic understanding of neuroendocrine functions and mechanisms of
action and the implications of this understanding. The authors review
recent advances in the field emanating from studies involving a variety
of animal models, molecular genetics, imaging technologies, and behavior
assays. These studies helped unravel mechanisms underlying the
development and function of neuroendocrine systems. The book highlights
how studies in a variety of model animals, including, invertebrates,
fish, birds, rodents and mammals has contributed to our understanding of
neuroendocrinology.
Model Animals in Neuroendocrinology provides students, scientists and
practitioners with a contemporary account of what can be learnt about
the functions of neuroendocrine systems from studies across animal
taxonomy.
This is the seventh volume in the Masterclass in Neuroendocrinology
Series, a co-publication between Wiley and the INF (International
Neuroendocrine Federation) that aims to illustrate highest standards and
encourage the use of the latest technologies in basic and clinical
research and hopes to provide inspiration for further exploration into
the exciting field of neuroendocrinology.
