(Wiley-INF Masterclass in Neuroendocrinology Series) 1st Edition
by Mike Ludwig (Editor), Gil Levkowitz (Editor)
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.
