Summary

This book presents a review of the current knowledge on the cellular and biochemical mechanisms which control social behaviors in vertebrates. The chapters describe in sequence the endocrine rhythms of hormones, the anatomical localization of the steroid-sensitive centers, the steroid receptors and their metabolism. The consequences of steroid action in the brain and the neurochemical mechanisms of behavior are then reviewed in two chapters devoted to neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. The changes in neuronal circuitry in relationship with behavior are then considered. A last chapter is devoted to the control of behavior by pheromones.
