Publisher's Synopsis
The most relevant and recent stress–related discoveries are presented in this volume, including functional anatomy, molecular genetics, developmental aspects, neural–endocrine–immune interactions, molecular imaging, and clinical aspects of stress–related disorders.
Chapters by distinguished international basic and clinical scientists in the field of stress and neurotransmitters offer new insights into stress, stress–related disorders, and their future stressor–specific treatment.
This volume encompasses a number of themes in several sections: (1) functional neuroanatomy of stress response; (2) brain monoamines and neuropeptides in stress; (3) molecular genetics of neurotransmitter enzymes in stress; (4) molecular genetics of stress hormones; (5) transcriptional regulation of heart function in stress; (6) neuroendocrine regulations in stress and their molecular biological basis; (7) stress hormone receptors; (8) stress, adaptation, and metabolism; and (9) clinical aspects of stress–induced changes in neurotransmitter and hormone systems.
