Finally, the main features that differentiate the treatment of drug abuse in men and women are reviewed. Recent findings The results obtained indicate that there is a close link between the differential biological characteristics of the male and female brain and sex hormones, which explain the ...
male or female. Hormones, particularly testosterone, act during early pre- and postnatal development to shape the structure and function of brain regions, including both the hypothalamus and extrahypothalamic brain regions such as the hippocampus. Testosterone secretion by the testes during gestation ...
In the past, it was assumed that a female was simply a male with hormones, says Tracey Shors, a professor of neuroscience at <place w:st="on"><placename w:st="on">Rutgers</placename><placetype w:st="on">University</placetype></place>. The truth is the exact opposite. Female is...
In the past, it was assumed that a female was simply a male with hormones, says Tracey Shors, a professor of neuroscience at RutgersUniversity. The truth is the exact opposite. Female is the default brain setting. Until the eighth week of gestation every human fetal brain looks female. The...
Our results did not show significant sex differences in FHAs but indicate differential relationships between progesterone and FHAs in men and women. In conclusion, sex hormones emerged as central mediators of sex differences in global precedence and possible moderators of hemispheric asymmetries....
Gonadal hormones differentially modulate cocaine-induced conditioned place preference in male and female rats. Neuroscience 120: 523–533. Article CAS PubMed Google Scholar Sell S, Thomas M, Cunningham K (2002). Influence of estrous cycle and estradiol on behavioral sensitization to cocaine in ...
Early workers interested in the mechanisms mediating sex differences in morphology and behavior assumed that differences in behavior that are commonly observed between males and females result from the sex specificity of androgens and estrogens. Androgens were thought to facilitate male-typical traits, and...
Integrating these literatures and our current work, we argue the critical importance of investigating the disruption of the development of fetal HPA circuitry, during periods in which the sexual differentiation of the brain occurs, that we hypothesize place the male or female fetus at differential ...
As shown in Table 2, there were evident sex differences in the ClinROs and plasma PUFAs concentrations: males had higher PASI, BSA and PGA scores, whereas females had higher levels of DHA and ARA. No significant differences were observed in PROs scores between male and female patients. Table...
differences between the sexes might be innate. And new scanning techniques have enabled researchers to examine the brain's interior while it is working, showing that male and female brains do, at one level, operate differently. The results, however, do not always support past clichés about ...
