Trends in Comparative Endocrinology and Neurobiology : Proceedings of the 18th Conference of European Comparative Endocrinologists, September 10-14, 1996

Taken from the proceedings of the 18th Conference of European Comparative Endocrinologists, held on September 10-14, 1996, this text reviews recent progress in comparative endocrinology and neurobiology, from molecular aspects to integrative biology.

It places a special emphasis on the functions of peptides in endocrine and neuronal communication.

The book should be of interest to scientists working on the phylogeny of hormones and neuropeptides.
