Zusatztext "The text is an excellent summary of what is new on estrogens in the brain and will be of interest to neuroscience departments..."--Jnl of the Neurological Sciences! March 2001 Informationen zum Autor Derek J. Chadwick and Jamie A. Goode are editors for Neuronal and Cognitive Effects of Oestrogens and other scientific titles. Klappentext Dieser Band gehört zur renommierten Reihe "Novartis Foundation Series". Er gibt einen Überblick über die jüngsten Erkenntnisse der neuronalen Wirkungen von Östrogenen. Diskutiert werden die Grundmechanismen der Östrogenwirkung, die extra-hypothalmischen Gehirnsysteme, die von Östrogenen beeinflußt werden sowie Östrogene in Verbindung mit ihrer kognitiven Funktion und ihrer Rolle bei der Neuroprotektion. Enthalten sind Beiträge international führender Experten auf diesem Gebiet, die das Thema anhand aktuellster Forschungsergebnisse umfassend behandeln. (y05/00) Zusammenfassung Although normally thought of as a sex hormone, recent research has highlighted the numerous and significant effects that oestrogen has on the central nervous system. It has been shown that oestrogen acts as a neural growth factor with important influences on the survival, plasticity, regeneration, and aging of the mammalian forebrain.
