Brain Control of the Reproductive System

Leading Japanese scientists present critical new information regarding the brain's influence on mammalian reproduction. Because the brain, pituitary gland, and gonads make up a dynamic axis, the knowledge of brain functions is crucial to understanding precisely how reproductive activities are modulated by various internal and external environmental changes. This book also provides a comprehensive look at morphological studies of the central nrevous system, emphasizing the plasticity of GnRH neurons and sexually dimorphic cell groups and oestrogen receptors. It also covers physiological mechanisms regulating female sexual behaviour and the pulsatile release of gonadotropin and oxytocin.
