Sex differences in the function of the hippocampus have been observed in numerous
mammalian species. However, the magnitude, extent, and specificity of these differences are …

Neurogenesis within the adult hippocampus is modulated by endogenous and exogenous
factors. Here, we review the role of sex hormones in the regulation of adult hippocampal …

Sex differences are reported in hippocampal plasticity, cognition, and in a number of
disorders that target the integrity of the hippocampus. For example, meta-analyses reveal …

Sex differences exist in brain function and behavior. However, the underlying molecular
mechanisms are only beginning to emerge. Recent studies in rodents have revealed …

Brain sexual differentiation in mammals requires activity of gonadal hormones;
organizational effects of these steroids on brain development occur early in life while …

The hippocampus is a key brain region regulating complex cognitive and emotional
responses, and is implicated in the etiology of depressive and anxiety disorders, many of …

Men and women differ in their vulnerability to a variety of stress-related illnesses, but the
underlying neurobiological mechanisms are not well understood. This is likely due to a …

The hippocampus is an area of the brain that undergoes dramatic plasticity in response to
experience and hormone exposure. The hippocampus retains the ability to produce new …

In recent years, a growing body of research has shown sex differences in the prevalence
and symptomatology of psychopathologies, such as depression, anxiety, and fear-related …

Sex hormones act throughout the entire brain of both males and females via both genomic
and nongenomic receptors. Sex hormones can act through many cellular and molecular …
