Provides information on what hormones are, how they affect cells, and how such effects can alter the behavior of animals, including humans. It discusses how genes work, the structure of cells, the interactions of endocrine organs, the behavior of individuals, and the evolution of the mating systems. This second edition has been revised to reflect recent developments in genetics and molecular biology and related concerns. It contains four new chapters: on the use of molecular biology techniques, on psychoneuroimmunology, on hormonal influences on sensorimotor function, and on conitive function in nonhuman animals.32 «
