Stress

TRAMA

Deriving the latest material from the Seventh Symposium on Catecholamines and other Neurotransmitters in Stress held in the Slovak Republic, Stress: Neural, Endocrine and Molecular Studies presents some of the latest research into stress, focusing on catecholamines and other neurotransmitter molecules. Topics covered include: -Peripheral influences on the stress response -Central influences on the stress response -Molecular regulation during stress -Neural-endocrine-immune interactions -Stress during development and aging -Stress hormone receptors -Clinical aspects of stress. Stress: Neural, Endocrine and Molecular Studies is particularly suitable for graduates and researchers in the disciplines of neuroscience, endocrinology, medicine, immunology, cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, pharmacology and stress research.
