Molecular Neuroendocrinology: From Genome to Physiology, authored by David Murphy and published as part of the Wiley-INF Masterclass in Neuroendocrinology Series, offers an in-depth exploration of neuroendocrine systems through a genomic lens. Spanning 488 pages, this comprehensive resource is designed for researchers and students seeking to understand the intricacies of gene expression, regulation, and physiological functions within these systems.

Divided into four sectors, the book systematically delves into key areas: it begins with an examination of the genome—its evolution, expression, and the mechanisms that contribute to protein diversity. It then moves on to discuss post-translational modifications that enhance peptide and protein diversity beyond what is encoded in the genome. The third sector focuses on the molecular tools available to neuroendocrinologists today for studying gene regulation and function within organisms. Lastly, it presents case studies showcasing the application of genomic technologies in physiological and behavioral experiments.

Written by a team of internationally recognized experts, this book is an essential resource for those interested in advancing knowledge at the intersection of molecular biology, endocrinology, and neurobiology. Its rich content and practical insights make it a valuable addition to any academic or research library focused on neuroendocrinology.
