te:"This book is really a must for all neurobiologists since it not only clarifies the reasons for the many controversies about the exact
roles of vasopressin and oxytocin in memory processing, but it also provides those researchers who are interested in functionality as
well as mechanisms a guide to avoid the dangers that are inherent to such research. Barbara McEwen's book comes at the right time since
the current tendency favored by most granting institutions and amplified by the intrusion of news in science is to extrapolate from more
or less sophisticated in vitro studies to in vivo functions in both normal and clinical conditions. In these times of sweeping generalizations,
it is important to remember that results of any research carried out within the context of a given experimental paradigm are only valid
for that particular paradigm. Barbara McEwen must be thanked for reiterating this lesson even though it took 654 pages and more than
1000 bibliographical references to do so!"
