Full Description
Hormones in Neuroscience: The Pancreas and Pancreatic Hormones explores the latest research in neuroendocrinology in relation to the pancreas and pancreatic hormones. This volume aims to cover the deficiencies in existing literature on the link between hormones and neurological tissues. This book offers translational context and seeks to address behavioral consequences of altered endocrine gland pathology, while also addressing causative and modulating influences.
