{"product_id":"neurobiology-of-chemical-communication-1","title":"Neurobiology of Chemical Communication","description":"\u003cp\u003eIntraspecific communication involves the activation of chemoreceptors and subsequent activation of different central areas that coordinate the responses of the entire organism—ranging from behavioral modification to modulation of hormones release. Animals emit intraspecific chemical signals, often referred to as pheromones, to advertise their presence to members of the same species and to regulate interactions aimed at establishing and regulating social and reproductive bonds. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the last two decades, scientists have developed a greater understanding of the neural processing of these chemical signals. \u003cb\u003eNeurobiology of Chemical Communication\u003c\/b\u003e explores the role of the chemical senses in mediating intraspecific communication. Providing an up-to-date outline of the most recent advances in the field, it presents data from laboratory and wild species, ranging from invertebrates to vertebrates, from insects to humans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book examines the structure, anatomy, electrophysiology, and molecular biology of pheromones. It discusses how chemical signals work on different mammalian and non-mammalian species and includes chapters on insects, \u003cem\u003eDrosophila\u003c\/em\u003e,\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ehoney bees, amphibians, mice, tigers, and cattle. It also explores the controversial topic of human pheromones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn essential reference for students and researchers in the field of pheromones, this is also an ideal resource for those working on behavioral phenotyping of animal models and persons interested in the biology\/ecology of wild and domestic species.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57483870437720,"sku":"9781466553415","price":235.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781466553415.jpg?v=1781058656","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/neurobiology-of-chemical-communication-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
