Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is widely accepted for its involvement in resilience
and antidepressant drug action, is a common genetic locus of risk for mental illnesses, and …

This review highlights recent evidence from clinical and basic science studies supporting a
role for estrogen in neuroprotection. Accumulated clinical evidence suggests that estrogen …

Ligands for the nuclear receptor superfamily have at least two mechanisms of action:(a)
classical transcriptional regulation of target genes (genomic mechanisms); and (b) non …

During development, estrogen has a variety of effects on morphological and
electrophysiological properties of hippocampal neurons. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor …

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

We investigated the distribution of the high-affinity neurotrophin receptors TrkA, TrkB, and
TrkC in a wide range of normal non-neuronal tissues of adult human by …

In recent years, the knowledge of how estrogen interferes with mammalian brain functions
and development has broadened substantially. In the adult brain, estrogen is not only …

The present study was conducted to identify the localization and possible contribution of the
two estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes in the rat brain at postnatal (P) days 3, 7 and 14 …

Neurotrophins play a crucial role in the maintenance, survival and selective vulnerability of
various neuronal populations within the normal and diseased brain. Several families of …

Species‐typical vocal patterns subserve species identification and communication for
individual organisms. Only a few groups of organisms learn the sounds used for vocal …
