The GnRH Neuron and its Control (Wiley-INF Masterclass in Neuroendocrinology Series) (PDF)

The GnRH Neuron and its Control investigates the growth and development of GnRH neurons in the embryonic stage, sexual differentiation, and the hypothalamic control mechanisms that regulate GnRH neurons in adulthood. This book explores these mechanisms in detail, shedding light on the morphology, electrophysiology, signal transduction pathways, transcriptional regulators, genomics, and associated functions of adult GnRH neurons.

Through extensive research, this book also delves into the modulation of GnRH neuron activity by various factors such as season, stress, nutrition, and metabolism. Additionally, it covers potential therapeutic approaches to regulating GnRH secretion and action. This richly informative book provides researchers, students, and practitioners a detailed understanding of reproductive neuroendocrinology with extensive discussions of newly identified research and fundamental knowledge of GnRH biology.

This is the fifth volume in the Masterclass in Neuroendocrinology Series, which is jointly published by Wiley and the INF (International Neuroendocrine Federation), and aims to promote the highest standards in basic and clinical research. This interdisciplinary series introduces the latest technology and provides inspiration for researchers across the field of neuroendocrinology.
