Description: Sexual
difference in the brain has long been one of the more intriguing research areas
in the field of neuroscience. This thorough and comprehensive text uncovers and
explains recent neurobiological and molecular biological studies in the field
of neuroscience as they relate to the mechanisms underlying sexual
differentiation of the brain.
Attempts have
been made to clarify sex differences in the human brain using noninvasive
techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging. Sexual Differentiation of the
Brain thoroughly examines these techniques and findings, providing an
up-to-date, comprehensive overview written by leading researchers in the field.
Just a few of
the topics addressed include genetic contributions to the sexual
differentiation of behavior; in-vitro studies of the effects of estrogen on
estrogen receptor-transfected neuroblastoma cells; and the evolution of brain
mechanisms controlling sexual behavior. Other topics include sexual differentiation
of neural circuitry in the hypothalamus; structural sex differences in the
mammalian brain; and sexual differentiation of cognitive functions in humans.
With its
revealing and informative chapters, as well as provocative treatment of the
subject matter, Sexual Differentiation of the Brain helps shed new light on one
of the most fascinating areas of brain research.
