Sex differences and the role of estradiol in mesolimbic reward circuits and vulnerability to cocaine and opiate addiction
Although both men and women become addicted to drugs of abuse, women transition to
addiction faster, experience greater difficulties remaining abstinent, and relapse more often …

Estrous cycle mediates midbrain neuron excitability altering social behavior upon stress
The estrous cycle is a potent modulator of neuron physiology. In rodents, in vivo ventral
tegmental area (VTA) dopamine (DA) activity has been shown to fluctuate across the estrous …

Estradiol increases the sensitivity of ventral tegmental area dopamine neurons to dopamine and ethanol
Gender differences in psychiatric disorders such as addiction may be modulated by the
steroid hormone estrogen. For instance, 17β-estradiol (E2), the predominant form of …

Characterization of aromatase expression in the adult male and female mouse brain. I. Coexistence with oestrogen receptors α and β, and androgen receptors
Aromatase catalyses the last step of oestrogen synthesis. There is growing evidence that
local oestrogens influence many brain regions to modulate brain development and …
