Summary
Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology summarizes recent progress in this area. It includes contributions covering epigenetic mechanisms in the brain, neuroendocrine responses to stress, and gendered behavior, as well as studies of how sex differences may affect circadian rhythms, immune disorders, and depression.
The book also examines controversy around research in this area as well as the dangers of neglecting sex differences when planning experiments. It is thus a vital reference both for biologists in the field and for translational researchers developing therapeutic approaches that may be affected by sex differences.
