Overview

This volume in the series Current Topics in Neuroendocrinology is a broadly conceived overview of substances and genes involved in the regulation of different complex behaviours. It includes in-depth discussions of the role of corticotropin releasing factor CRF on different behaviours and the effects on the autonomic nervous system and visceral function. The actions of estrogens, prolactin and other pituitary hormones on sexual and reproductive behaviour, cytokines and sleep, the role of vasopressin and oxytocin in stress response and sexual behaviour. The integration of thirst mechanisms and feeding behaviour by neuropeptide Y, angiotensin, and other peptides, and neuropeptide mechanisms of temperature control.
