Sexual difference in the brain has long been one of
the more intriguing research areas in the field of
neuroscience. This thorough and comprehensive text
uncovers and explains recent neurobiological and
molecular biological studies in the field of
neuroscience as they relate to the mechanisms
underlying sexual differentiation of the brain.
Attempts have been made to clarify sex differences
in the human brain using noninvasive techniques such
as magnetic resonance imaging. Sexual Differentiation
of the Brain thoroughly examines these techniques and
findings, providing an up-to-date, comprehensive
overview written by leading researchers in the field.
Just a few of the topics addressed include genetic
contributions to the sexual differentiation of behavior;
in-vitro studies of the effects of estrogen on estrogen
receptor-transfected neuroblastoma cells; and the
evolution of brain mechanisms controlling sexual behavior.
Other topics include sexual differentiation of neural
circuitry in the hypothalamus; structural sex differences
in the mammalian brain; and sexual differentiation of
cognitive functions in humans.With its revealing and
informative chapters, as well as provocative treatment
of the subject matter, Sexual Differentiation of the
Brain helps shed new light on one of the most fascinating
areas of brain research.
