Estrogen Actions in the Central Nervous System1

McEwen, Bruce S., Alves, Stephen E.·1999·Endocrine Reviews

Abstract

GONADAL hormones affect the nervous system in ways that extend beyond their essential actions of regulating gonadotropin and PRL secretion and modulating sexual behavior. For example, estrogens and androgens have been reported to influence verbal fluency, performance on spatial tasks, verbal memory tests, and fine motor skills (1–4); and they affect the coordination of movement in animals (5) and symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and tardive dyskinesia in human subjects (6). Estrogens are also linked to symptoms of depression and treatment of depressive illness (7–10). Many estrogen effects differ qualitatively or quantitatively between the sexes, suggesting that they may be subject to sexual differentiation during pre- or early postnatal development. In addition, circulating hormone levels may contribute differentially in adult males and females. Sex differences in brain function also include gender differences in the incidence of psychopathologies such as depressive illness, which is more common in women, substance abuse and antisocial behavior, which are more common in men, as well as pain sensitivity (see Ref. 11 for review).

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.
