Hearing and Hormones

Afundamental goal of neuroscience is to understand how hormones modulate neuralcircuits and behavior. Hearing andHormones reviews the growing literature showing that hormones can regulateauditory physiology and anatomy, and the perception of acoustic signals acrossa broad range of animal taxa, including humans.  ·        Hearingand Hormones: Paying Homage to the Comparative Approach byAndrew H.
