Pulsatility in Neuroendocrine Systems

Pulsatility is now recognized as a nearly ubiquitous functional feature of neuroendocrine systems. This volume presents a comprehensive guide to the established and emerging technologies being used to study the perplexing phenomenon of pulsatility. Molecular, cellular, physiological, and mathematical approaches are described in detail.

• In vitro methods for studying neuroendocrine pulsatility
• In vivo sampling and recording procedures for monitoring pulsatility in several species
• Improved quantitative and analytical methods for the study of hormone pulsatility
