Endocrine Disruptors, Brain, and Behavior

Endocrine Disruptors, Brain, and Behavior examines whether and how endocrine disrupting compounds alter brain development and function. The volume addresses the biological impact of these substances and considers their potential contribution to the rising prevalence of neural disorders.

Providing an overarching synthesis of the field, the book reviews historical origins, fundamental hypotheses, primary findings, and persistent research gaps. It also explores mechanisms of action within the neuroendocrine system, examining landmark compounds as well as receptor and enzyme targets.

Published in the Oxford Series in Behavioral Neuroendocrinology, the work provides a contextual bridge for researchers working across neuroscience, evolutionary biology, behavior, sex differences, and neuroendocrinology.
