Sexual difference in the
brain has long been one of the more intriguing research
areas in the field of neuroscience. This thorough and
comprehensive text uncovers and explains recent
neurobiological and molecular biological studies in the
field of neuroscience as they relate to the mechanisms
underlying sexual differentiation of the brain. Attempts
have been made to clarify sex differences in the human
brain using noninvasive techniques such as magnetic
resonance imaging. Sexual Differentiation of the Brain
thoroughly examines these techniques and findings,
providing an up-to-date, comprehensive overview written
by leading researchers in the field. Just a few of the
topics addressed include genetic contributions to the
sexual differentiation of behavior; in-vitro studies of
the effects of estrogen on estrogen receptor-transfected
neuroblastoma cells; and the evolution of brain
mechanisms controlling sexual behavior. Other topics
include sexual differentiation of neural circuitry in
the hypothalamus; structural sex differences in the
mammalian brain; and sexual differentiation of cognitive
functions in humans. With its revealing and informative
chapters, as well as provocative treatment of the
subject matter, Sexual Differentiation of the Brain
helps shed new light on one of the most fascinating
areas of brain research.

Medicolegal investigation of death is the most crucial
and significant function of the medical examiner within
the criminal justice system. The medical examiner is
primarily concerned with violent, sudden, unexpected,
and suspicious deaths and is responsible for determining
the cause and manner of death, identifying the deceased,
determining the approximate time of death and injury,
collecting evidence from the body, issuing the death
certificate, and documenting these events through an
official autopsy report. The basis of the medicolegal
investigation is forensic pathology.
Written for both medical and investigative
professionals, Forensic Pathology, Second Edition
presents an overview of medicolegal investigative
systems. Completely updated, the book examines
investigative techniques and procedures that lead to
obtaining accurate conclusions of death by homicide,
accident, or suicide.
