All animals evaluate the salience of external stimuli and integrate them with internal
physiological information into adaptive behavior. Natural and sexual selection impinge on …

The stereotyped features of neuronal circuits are those most likely to explain the remarkable
capacity of the brain to process information and govern behaviors, yet it has not been …

The distribution of cells that express mRNA encoding the androgen (AR) and estrogen (ER)
receptors was examined in adult male and female rats by using in situ hybridization. Specific …

This classic text gives a uniquely lucid and lively view of neurotransmitters, their role in
nervous system function, and their involvement in the mechanisms of psychiatric drug action …

Somatostatin (SST), a regulatory peptide, is produced by neuroendocrine, inflammatory, and
immune cells in response to ions, nutrients, neuropeptides, neurotransmitters, thyroid and …

Bilateral olfactory bulbectomy results in changes in behavior, and in the endocrine, immune
and neurotransmitter systems, that simulates many of those seen in patients with major …

The third edition of this monograph continues to have the goal of providing an overview of
current thought about the spinal cord mechanisms that are responsible for sensory …

Prior studies revealed that aversive stimuli and psychostimulant drugs elicit Fos expression
in neurons clustered above and behind the interpeduncular nucleus that project strongly to …

Tract-tracing and electrophysiology studies have revealed that major inputs to the nucleus
locus coeruleus (LC) are found in two structures, the nucleus paragigantocellularis (PGi) …

Movement, the fundamental component of behavior and the principal extrinsic action of the
brain, is produced when skeletal muscles contract and relax in response to patterns of action …
