Stress: Neurobiology and Neuroendocrinology

quality for a diverse collection of authors, and many of these authors are well known for their contributions to the body of AIDS research. Despite this book's high quality, it is an unusually expensive product aimed at a relatively narrow audience. A scientist who is not involved in AIDS issues would be better served by a more general and comprehensive reference. Conversely, any one particular...

Editorial: Reproductive Neuroendocrinology and Social Behavior

Reproduction consists of various physiological events including fertilization, development of sexual characteristics, social behavior, maturation, and aging. Reproductive functions are ultimately regulated by the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a pivotal hypothalamic neuropeptide that regulates vertebrate reproduction (Schally et al., 1972). I...

The neuroendocrinology of depression and chronic stress.

This chapter will review basic and clinical studies of the social, genetic and developmental influences upon the reactivity of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis and the relationship of these to depression. Significant advances have taken place in each of these areas and it is now possible to interlink many of these areas of work. In order to do so, this chapter will be organised int...
