Comparisons between the endocrine and nervous systems accross 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. 606 $aMedicine and Nursing$2bicssc 610 $abehavior 610 $abiological rythms 610 $aendocrine disruptors 610 $aG protein-coupled receptors 610 $amelatonin 610 $apeptide hormones and neuropeptides 610 $areproduction 610 $asteroids 615 7$aMedicine and Nursing 700 $aHubert Vaudry$4auth$01278637 702 $aOlivier Kah$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346754203321 996 $aTrends in Comparative Endocrinology and Neurobiology$93013633 997 $aUNINA
