   The prominent text, An Overview of Behavioral Endocrinology, Sixth Edition offers an up-to-date, consolidated portrayal of the exploration of hormone-behavior-brain interactions. Adhering to a relative approach, the content delves into the endocrine mechanisms that have developed in both human and nonhuman animals to address common challenges in survival and reproduction.

   The content delineates interactions among hormones, brain, and behavior from a chronological standpoint, underscoring associations among fundamental theories and retracing the emergence of significant hypotheses. The publication follows a structural theme that hormones influence behavior by impacting one or more of three “components” of behaving organisms – input mechanisms (like sensory or perceptual processes), the central processing mechanisms of the nervous system (either directly, or by influencing its development or structure), and output mechanisms (such as effectors or peripheral structures). Despite expanded coverage of molecular and cellular methodologies, the publication aims for comprehensibility for students outside the biological science realm.

   An Overview of Behavioral Endocrinology, Sixth Edition, is suitable for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses in psychology, biology, anthropology, or zoology. It encompasses several significant instructional components:

   * Learning objectives are outlined at the commencement of each chapter and now incorporate 3 multiple-choice inquiries per objective in the enriched ebook.
   * Learning Activity in each chapter (fresh to this edition)
   * Key terms are elucidated in the margins throughout the content.
   * The content is embellished with vibrant photographs and illustrations.
   * Summaries at the conclusion of chapters recapitulate crucial points.
   * Discussion prompts and recommended further readings are also featured in every chapter.
   * The publication includes nearly 2,400 references to the behavioral endocrinology literature.
