Zusammenfassung:Information molecules, such as cortico-releasing factor (CRF), are ancient and widely distributed across diverse organs, playing various regulatory roles. CRF has been associated with a range of human conditions, including fear and anxiety, social contact, and most recently, addiction. This book explores the role of CRF, examining the relationship between location and function. It considers recurrent features that are linked to CRF: movement and change. CRF expression in regions of the brain is tied to paying attention to novel events and invoking movement in response to those events. Indeed, CRF provokes simple organized rhythmic behavior and can be mobilized under diverse conditions, including adversity. This book provides unique insights into CRF, and will be of interest to students and researchers in neuroscience, psychology, and biology....
