The top-performing volume, A Brief Overview of Behavioral Endocrinology, Sixth Edition offers an updated, unified overview of the examination of hormone-behavior-brain connections. By keeping a comparative stance, the volume investigates the endocrine mechanisms that have developed in both human and nonhuman animals to address common issues in survival and reproduction.

The volume delineates interactions amid hormones, brain, and behavior from a historical vantage point, placing emphasis on links among fundamental theories and following the development of vital hypotheses. The manuscript is structured around the fundamental notion that hormones impact behavior by influencing either one or more of three “aspects” of behaving creatures–input mechanisms (such as 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 strategies, the volume aims for ease of understanding for students not specialized in biological sciences.
