Steroid hormones as mediators of neural plasticity
Abstract
Steroid and thyroid hormone receptors are expressed in the developing brain and persist throughout adult life. They mediate a variety of effects on the brain, ranging from developmental effects of thyroid hormone and the process of sexual differentiation to the cyclic changes during reproductive cycles in adult female animals. This review summarizes data from the author's laboratory on three topics: (1) actions of extradiol and progesterone on the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus in adult female and male rats, showing both the cyclicity and the consequences of brain sexual differentiation; (2) actions of estradiol on the cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain of the female and male rat, reflecting the plasticity of the adult cholinergic system as well as sex differences which are developmentally programmed; and (3) diverse actions of estrogens, thyroid hormone and glucocorticoids on the morphology of hippocampal neurons. The review concludes by discussing the interactions between "organizational" (i.e. developmental) effects and the "activational" effects of steroids on the mature nervous system in relation to the environmental control of brain gene expression.

Effects of eCD are remarkably similar to those observed in 21 days of chronic restraint stress in rodents.
“Taken in a wider context, these effects of eCD are remarkably similar to those observed in 21 days of chronic restraint stress in rodents, which results in morphologic simplification of prefrontal cortical neurons and impairment in prefrontal mediated behaviors, such as attentional set-shifting or other working memory tasks.35–37”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
