It covers the evolution, development and description of the neuroendocrine system throughout the animal kingdom. Specific topics covered include: The Evolution of early neuroendocrine systems in primitive animals Structural characterisation, molecular biology and biochemistry of neuroendocrine agents A profiles section on unusual aspects of neuroendocrine physiology written by leaders in the field A unique section on the actions of environmental chemicals effect neuroendocrine systems in various species
