How it’s Made: Organisational Effects of Hormones on the Developing Brain
Open accessAbstract
Gonadal steroid hormones exert permanent organisational effects on the developing brain and thereby direct adult hormonal responsiveness to dictate sex‐specific behaviour and physiology. Considerable progress has been made in elucidating the cellular mechanism of action of androgens and oestrogens during the perinatal sensitive period during which organisation occurs. This review highlights the findings obtained with respect to differential cell death and synaptogenesis with an emphasis on region‐specific mechanisms that involve diverse signalling molecules including tumour necrosis factor‐α, BAX, GABA, glutamate, prostaglandin E 2, FAK and paxillin.

For females, the critical period represents a sensitive period during which masculinization can be induced by exposure to high levels of steroids, naturally or experimentally.
“For females, this time represents a “sensitive period” during which masculinization can be induced as a result of exposure to high levels of steroids, either naturally or experimentally (McCarthy, 2010).”

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.
