Stress: neural, endocrine, and molecular studies

Deriving the latest material from the Seventh Symposium on Catecholamines and other Neurotransmitters in Stress held in the Slovak Republic, Stress: Neural, Endocrine and Molecular Studies presents some of the latest research into stress, focusing on catecholamines and other neurotransmitter molecules. Topics covered include:"Peripheral influences on the stress response"Central influences on the stress response"Molecular regulation during stress"Neural-endocrine-immune interactions"Stress during development and aging"Stress hormone receptors"Clinical aspects of stress. Stress: Neural, Endocrine and Molecular Studies is particularly suitable for graduates and researchers in the disciplines of neuroscience, endocrinology, medicine, immunology, cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, pharmacology and stress research
