Hearing and Hormones

A
fundamental goal of neuroscience is to understand how hormones modulate neural
circuits and behavior. Hearing and
Hormones reviews the growing literature showing that hormones can regulate
auditory physiology and anatomy, and the perception of acoustic signals across
a broad range of animal taxa, including humans.
