This book explores the evolutionary origins of Cortico-releasing Factor (CRF), its neural functions, and its role in a variety of human characteristics and social behaviors. It provides unique insights into CRF, and will be of interest to students and researchers in Neuroscience, Psychology, and Biology.

Dr. Schulkin is a research Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at Georgetown University Medical Center and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Washington. His work focuses on the brain and neural endocrine systems that underlie behavioral adaptation (e.g. appetitive and consummatory behaviors). He has been studying CRF for the last 25 years. Schulkin is the author of number of papers and books, including Social Sensibility and Neural Function (MIT), Bodily Sensibility and Neural Function (Oxford), Rethinking Homeostasis (MIT), Action Perception and the Brain (Palgrave) Naturalism and Pragmatism (Palgrave) Reflections on the Musical Mind (Princeton) Cognitive Adaptation (Cambridge).
