This text discusses the neuroplastic effects of steroid hormones throughout the lifetime in various animal models, and covers: development and differentation, the steroid dependent brain regulation of hormone secretion, neuroplasticity of the mature barin, and steroid mediated c…
The story of planarians, and their use as an animal model for many types of research in neuropharmacology. The book shows how research involving planarians has led to developments in biomedicine, neurobiology, and how planarians have been involved in popular biological and cultu…
"Planarians, a class of flatworm, are extraordinary: they possess the remarkable ability to regenerate lost body parts, including complete regeneration of the nervous system. If cut into pieces, each piece of the planarian can regenerate into a complete organism. They are also u…

This volume provides readers with an introduction to all the methods and major approaches now being used to study the structural and functional development of the brain. Prenatal and Postnatal Determinants of Development explores early anatomical development, the emergence of fu…
"The present volume reviews the impact of different types of early deprivations on structural and functional brain organization. The risk from multiple influences of systemic poverty is that these children will suffer not only from loss of opportunity but from poor development o…
