Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The pineal gland, long regarded as a mysterious neuroendocrine structure, is now recognized as a central integrator of circadian biology, neurochemical signaling, and systemic physiological regulation. Molecular, Chemical, and Cellular Architecture of the Pineal Gland: Integrating Neuroendocrine Signaling Pathways and Structural Complexity provides a comprehensive and up-to-date synthesis of current knowledge on this unique brain organ, bridging molecular biology, neuroanatomy, and translational neuroscience. Beginning with embryogenesis and evolutionary perspectives across vertebrate species, the book progresses through the structural organization, cellular diversity, and ultrastructural specialization of the pineal gland. It then explores the molecular genetics and epigenetic regulation underlying pineal function, with a detailed focus on tryptophan metabolism and the enzymatic pathways governing melatonin biosynthesis. Special emphasis is placed on neural and circadian regulation via the suprachiasmatic nucleus, receptor-mediated signaling pathways, and the integration of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides in modulating pineal output. The text also addresses dynamic aspects of pineal physiology, including environmental modulation, aging-related changes, and light-dark cycle dependency. Finally, the book examines clinical and pathological dimensions, including pineal tumors, calcification, and neuropsychiatric associations, while highlighting emerging imaging technologies, molecular targets, and therapeutic opportunities. Designed for neuroscientists, endocrinologists, medical researchers, and advanced graduate readers, this volume offers a unified framework for understanding the pineal gland as a dynamic hub of neuroendocrine integration and circadian regulation. …
