Summary:
Steroid hormone influences on neural circuits throughout life largely
determine the quality of the "dialogue" between the endocrine and
nervous system, and thus, the function of adaptive mechanisms. This
work provides a summary of "classic" knowledge on steroid actions in
the brain, and addresses several novel and less explored issues, such
as sex steriod-induced gender dichotomy in stress responsiveness,
developmental effects of adrenal steroids on brain functions,
contribution of steroid hormones to the structural plasticity of the
limbic system, and the role of neurosteroids in the development of
mechanisms,s of adaptation. This comprehensive update of steroid
effects in the brain will be a helpful reference for basic
researchers, whereas implication to the pathogenesis of neuro - and
psychopathological conditions aim at the audience of clinical
researchers. For students of medicine and biology, the book may serve
as a guide to both, basic knowledge and intrigu! ing research
objectives in neurobiology of steroids.
