Comparisons between the endocrine and nervous systems across species have yielded major breakthroughs in endocrinology and neurobiology. For instance: a number of mammalian peptide hormones and neuropeptides have been originally identified in fish or amphibians; studies conducted in a sea slug founded the cellular and molecular basis of learning and memory; observations of neurogenesis in the forebrain of songbirds led to the discovery of adult neurogenesis in the mammalian brain. These examples illustrate the remarkable contribution of the comparative approach for the advancement of neuroendocrinological concepts. The present e-book is a unique collection of research articles and reviews that provide a representative overview of the latest developments in comparative endocrinology and neurobiology.G protein-coupled receptorsendocrine disruptorsbiological rythmssteroidspeptide hormones and neuropeptidesmelatoninbehaviorreproductionHubert Vaudryauth1278637Olivier KahauthBOOK9910346754203321Trends in Comparative Endocrinology and Neurobiology3013633UNINA
