The market-leading text, An Introduction to Behavioral Endocrinology, Sixth Edition, provides an updated, integrated presentation of the study of hormone-behavior-brain interactions. Maintaining a comparative approach, the text explores the endocrine mechanisms that have evolved in both human and nonhuman animals to solve common problems in survival and reproduction.

The text describes interactions among hormones, brain, and behavior from a historical perspective, emphasizing connections among key theories and tracing the emergence of important hypotheses. It is organized around the conceptual theme that hormones affect behavior by influencing one or more of three components of behaving animals--input mechanisms (such as sensory or perceptual processes); the central processing mechanisms of the nervous system (either directly, or by affecting its development or structure); and output mechanisms (such as effectors or peripheral structures). Despite increased coverage of molecular and cellular approaches, the book strives for accessibility for non-biological science students.

An Introduction to Behavioral Endocrinology, Sixth Edition, is appropriate for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology, biology, anthropology, or zoology. It contains several important pedagogical features:

*Learning objectives are set out at the beginning of each chapter and now include three multiple-choice questions per objective in the enhanced e-Book
