Drug effects on neuroendocrine regulation; Proceedings of the International Symposium, Snowmass-at-Aspen, Colo., July 17-19, 1972

Subjects related to the characterization of neuroendocrine systems are discussed, taking into account the need for the precise identification and rigorous description of their operations. Steroid effects on neuroendocrine system performance are considered along with biogenic amine effects on neuroendocrine systems and the influence of drugs of abuse on neuroendocrine behavior. Other topics explored include pituitary-adrenal influences on avoidance and approach behavior of the rat, the adrenocortical mediation of the effects of early life experiences, and the implication of noradrenaline in avoidance learning in the rat. Individual items are announced in this issue.
