Neave (psychology, Northumbria U., UK) provides an introduction to
the science of behavioral endocrinology for humans and animals to
advanced undergraduate students in the fields of psychology and
biomedicine. He describes the endocrine system and the way that hormones
can influence brain structure and function, as well as such specific
behaviors as sexual determination and differentiation, neurological
differentiation, parental behaviors, aggression, and cognition. For many
of these, he also considers the influence of behaviors on the endocrine
system.
