Patterns of Parental Behavior: From Animal Science to Comparative Ethology and Neuroscience (Advances in Neurobiology, 27)

By Gabriela González-Mariscal Modern neuroscience has presented new opportunities for exploring the molecular and neural mechanisms controlling specific social responses. This book reviews insights into the neural circuits underlying a particularly fascinating form of social interaction, parental behavior. This book presents a detailed review of maternal and paternal behavior of particular mammalian species. It offer neuroscientists a spectrum of specific mammals that can be used as experimental models to explore particular topics on the functions of the nervous system. It shows that results coming from the laboratory can be translated into useful information for raising mammals on the farm, and it stimulates biologists to gain insights into the underpinnings of the complex mechanisms governing mammalian behavior in the wild.  It also discusses the implications of this research for human parental behavior.  Leer más Product Details Editorial ‏ : ‎ Springer; 1st ed. 2022 edición (29 Septiembre 2022) Idioma ‏ : ‎ Inglés Tapa dura ‏ : ‎ 314 páginas ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 3030977617 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-3030977610 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 9783030977610 eText ISBN: 9783030977627 Peso del Artículo ‏ : ‎ 1.36 pounds Dimensiones ‏ : ‎ 6.14 x 0.75 x 9.21 pulgadas
