The Oxford Encyclopedia of Neuroendocrine and Autonomic Systems provides an up-to-date survey of the wide range of scholarship being conducted on these two systems in the field of neuroendocrinology. The Encyclopedia includes more than 50 articles--each approximately 8,000 words in length--that provide thorough overviews of a diverse set of topics in neuroendocrine regulation, neuroimmunology, behavioral neuroendocrinology, autonomic regulation, stress, thirst and water balance, regulation of food intake, and biological rhythms and sleep, among many others. All authors were commissioned specifically for the Encyclopedia, and all articles received blind peer reviews. The articles provide critical and synthetic examinations, as well as the history, progress, direction, and debates about research on a given topic, surveying developments and different perspectives, and discussing important contributors and contributions. The Encyclopedia offers coverage of core and emerging areas of 
research to provide readers a reliable source of specialist information on topics not discussed in existing reference works. As such, The Oxford Encyclopedia of Neuroendocrine and Autonomic Systems represents a unique contribution to scholarship in neuroendocrinology and will be a standard reference for researchers, students, and professionals in the field.

The market-leading text, An Introduction to Behavioral Endocrinology, Sixth Edition provides an updated, integrated presentation of the study of hormone-behavior-brain interactions. Maintaining a comparative approach, the text explores the endocrine mechanisms that have evolved in both human and nonhuman animals to solve common problems in survival and reproduction.\nThe text describes interactions among hormones, brain, and behavior from a historical perspective, emphasizing connections among key theories and tracing the emergence of important hypotheses. The book is organized around the conceptual theme that hormones affect behavior by influencing one or more of three "components" of behaving animals--input mechanisms (such as sensory or perceptual processes), the central processing mechanisms of the nervous system (either directly, or by affecting its development or structure), and output mechanisms (such as effectors or peripheral structures). Despite increased coverage of molecular and cellular approaches, the book strives for accessibility for non-biological science students.\nAn Introduction to Behavioral Endocrinology, Sixth Edition, is appropriate for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology, biology, anthropology, or zoology. It contains several important pedagogical features:\n*Learning objectives are set out at the beginning of each chapter and now include 3 multiple choice questions per objective in the enhanced ebook. 
*Learning Activity in each chapter (new to this edition) 
*Key terms are defined in the margins throughout the text. 
*The text is richly illustrated with color photographs and drawings. 
*Chapter-end summaries restate important points. 
*Discussion questions and suggested further readings are also included in each chapter. 
*The text contains nearly 2,400 references to the literature in behavioral endocrinology.\nRESOURCES\nFor Students 
As with previous editions, the book is accompanied by animations, video, web links, sound files, a complete glossary, and graphics--accessible via Oxford Learning Link--to aid in understanding the material in the text.\nThis edition will also include an enhanced ebook.\nFor Instructors 
-The Instructor's Resource Library includes electronic versions of all the textbook's figures and tables. All images are provided as both high- and low-resolution JPEGs, formatted and optimized for excellent legibility when projected.

Seasonal Patterns of Stress, Immune Function, and Disease

This volume presents evidence that infection is cyclical with the seasons, and that this phenomenon is mirrored in cycles of immune function. The authors identify the mechanisms by which immune systems are bolstered to counteract seasonally-recurrent stressors, such as extreme temperature reductions and food shortages. Stress, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, and human cancers are examined, and the role of hormones such as melatonin and glucocorticoids are considered. This is the first monograph to examine seasonal immune function from an interdisciplinary perspective.

The Third Edition of An Introduction to Behavioral Endocrinology retains all of the features of the bestselling prior editions, and provides an updated, integrated presentation of the study of hormone–behavior interactions. Continuing to emphasize a comparative approach, the text explores the endocrine mechanisms that have evolved in both human and nonhuman animals to solve common problems in survival and reproduction. 
The text describes hormone–behavior interactions from a historical perspective, emphasizing connections among key theories and tracing the emergence of important hypotheses. The book is organized around the conceptual theme that hormones may affect behavior by influencing one or more of three "components" of behaving animals: input mechanisms, such as sensory or perceptual processes; the central processing mechanisms of the nervous system (either directly, or by affecting its development or structure); and output mechanisms, such as effectors or peripheral structures. Despite increased coverage of molecular and cellular approaches, the book retains its accessibility for non-biological science students. 
The introductory chapter describes the history of behavioral endocrinology, as well as common methods, techniques, and levels of analysis used in this rapidly expanding field. The anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry of the endocrine system is described in Chapter 2. Chapters 3 and 4 discuss sex determination, sex differentiation, and what is known about sex differences in behavior from both animal models and studies of humans. The relationships between hormones and male and female reproductive behaviors are presented in Chapters 5 and 6, respectively; effects of hormones on parental behaviors are described in Chapter 7. Chapter 8 describes the effects of hormones on social behaviors, such as affiliation and aggression. Endocrine mediation of homeostatic processes, such as feeding and drinking behaviors, is presented in Chapter 9. Chapter 10 discusses hormones and biological rhythms. The effect of stressors on hormone–behavior interactions is presented in Chapter 11. The role of hormones on learning and memory is described in Chapter 12. The final chapter explores the effects of hormones on mood and other psychosocial processes in humans. 
An Introduction to Behavioral Endocrinology is appropriate for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology, biology, anthropology, or zoology. It contains several important pedagogical features. The text is richly illustrated with photographs and drawings. Key terms are identified and defined in the text, and summaries at the end of each chapter restate important points. Discussion questions and suggested further readings are also included in each chapter. The text contains over 2,000 references to the literature in behavioral endocrinology. Accompanying this edition is a new CD that contains animations, video, sound files, and graphics to aid in understanding the material in the text.

An Introduction to Behavioral Endocrinology, Fifth Edition, retains all of the features of the bestselling prior editions, and provides an updated, integrated presentation of the study of hormone-behavior-brain interactions. Continuing to emphasize a comparative approach, the text explores the endocrine mechanisms that have evolved in both human and nonhuman animals to solve common problems in survival and reproduction. The fifth edition benefits by the addition of a new coauthor, Lance Kriegsfeld (The University of California, Berkeley), who brings additional expertise and teaching experience in behavioral endocrinology. The text describes interactions among hormones, brain, and behavior from a historical perspective, emphasizing connections among key theories and tracing the emergence of important hypotheses. The book is organized around the conceptual theme that hormones affect behavior by influencing one or more of three "components" of behaving animals--input mechanisms (such as sensory or perceptual processes), the central processing mechanisms of the nervous system (either directly, or by affecting its development or structure), and output mechanisms (such as effectors or peripheral structures).
