Although hormones such as glucocorticoids have been broadly accepted in recent decades
as general neuromodulators of memory processes, sex steroid hormones such as the potent …

The discovery of steroid hormone receptors in brain regions that mediate every aspect of
brain function has broadened the definition of 'neuroendocrinology'to include the reciprocal …

Females have historically been disregarded in memory research, including the thousands of
studies examining roles for the hippocampus, medial prefrontal cortex, and amygdala in …

Estrogen is an important hormone signal that regulates multiple tissues and functions in the
body. This review focuses on the neurotrophic and neuroprotective actions of estrogen in the …

Besides their well-established actions on reproductive functions, estrogens exert a variety of
actions on many regions of the nervous system that influence higher cognitive function, pain …

Ample evidence has demonstrated that sex steroid hormones, such as the potent estrogen
17β-estradiol (E2), affect hippocampal morphology, plasticity, and memory in male and …

Research in basic neuroscience has provided biological plausibility for the hypothesis that
estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) would protect against cognitive aging in healthy …

Do biological factors, such as gonadal hormones, determine our sexual destiny after our
genes are in place? Do they make men aggressive, or women nurturing? Do they cause …

Estrogens have long been implicated in influencing cognitive processes, yet the molecular
mechanisms underlying these effects and the roles of the estrogen receptors alpha (ERα) …
