Biology of Homosexuality C
ISBN: 9780199838820 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this fascinating book, Jacques Balthazart presents a simple description of the biological mechanisms that are involved in the determination of sexual orientation in animals and also presumably in humans. Using scientific studies published over the last few decades, he argues that sexual orientation, both homosexual and heterosexual, is under the control of embryonic endocrine and genetic phenomena in which there is little room for individual choice. The author begins with animal studies of the hormonal and neural mechanisms that control the so-called instinctive behaviors and analyzes how...

Molecular and Cellular Basis of Social Behavior in Vertebrates
ISBN: 9783642738296 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Understanding the brain mechanisms which underlie behavior is one of the most challenging tasks of modern biology. The study of these mechanisms can be approached using a variety of biological systems as models, depending essentially on the type of question being asked and the technical approach which is considered. In vertebrates, the study of brain neurochemistry in relation to behavior e, xpression has made tremendous progress during the last two decades. In particular, much at tention has been devoted to the effect of steroid hormones on brain structure and activity in connection with...

Brain Development and Sexual Orientation
ISBN: 9781615044580 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Sexual orientation (homo- vs. heterosexuality) is one of many sex differences observed in humans. Sex differences can result from differential postnatal experiences (interaction with parents, environment) or from biological factors (hormones and genes) acting pre- or postnatally. The first option is often favored to explain sexual orientation although it is supported by little experimental evidence. In contrast, many sexually differentiated behaviors are organized during early life by an irreversible action of sex steroids. In particular, the preference for a male or female sex partner is...

Brain Aromatase, Estrogens, and Behavior
ISBN: 9780199841196 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. It is well known that the class of steroid hormones known as estrogens have powerful effects on organs related to reproduction such as the uterus and the breast. What is less well known is that estrogens also profoundly modulate brain function and behavior. Estrogens, such as estradiol, can occur in brain as the result of ovarian secretion of the hormone into the blood that then finds its way to the brain. In male vertebrates, the testes secrete androgens, such as testosterone, into the blood and this class of steroid hormones can be converted into estrogens in the brain via the action of the...

Hormones and Behaviour in Higher Vertebrates
ISBN: 9783642692185 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 489 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. During the last decade, the study of behavioural endocrinology has gone through a very exciting phase. New technologies have appeared which have allowed us to answer new questions; the present book is a reflection of this progress. In the eariy1970's, the advent of steroid radioimmunoassays (RIA) for the first time permitted measurement of gonadal and adrenal steroids in small aliquots of plasma. It thus became possible to measure these hormones repeatedly in the same animals (Le., to undertake longitudinal studies) and also to assay them in small-sized animals such as the rat or the ring...
