Jahagirdar V, Zoeller T, Tighe D, Wagner C
J Neuroendocrinol . 2012 Mar; 24(8):1126-34. PMID: 22435967
Steroid hormones exert profound effects on the development of brain areas controlling complex cognitive function in adulthood. One class, progestins, may contribute by acting on the progestin receptor (PR), which...

Gonzales K, Quadros-Mennella P, Tetel M, Wagner C
J Neuroendocrinol . 2011 Oct; 24(2):285-91. PMID: 21981076
Steroid hormones largely exert their actions by activating nuclear receptors, which, as transcription factors, powerfully influence fundamental processes of neural development. Often, steroid receptor action demonstrates remarkable specificity under different...

Jahagirdar V, Quadros P, Wagner C
J Neuroendocrinol . 2008 Jan; 20(3):359-65. PMID: 18208546
Testosterone secreted by male testes during fetal development is aromatized to oestradiol (E(2)) or reduced to the androgen, dihydrotestosteorne (DHT), within specific tissues. The female brain is assumed to develop...

Quadros P, Goldstein A, de Vries G, Wagner C
J Neuroendocrinol . 2002 Oct; 14(10):761-7. PMID: 12372000
The medial preoptic nucleus (MPN) of the rat, an excellent model for understanding the mechanisms involved in sexual differentiation, is highly sensitive to gonadal hormones during both pre- and post-natal...

Wagner C, Pfau J, de Vries G, Merchenthaler I
J Neurobiol . 2001 May; 47(3):176-82. PMID: 11333399
Around the time of birth, male rats express higher levels of progesterone receptors in the medial preoptic nucleus (MPN) than female rats, suggesting that the MPN may be differentially sensitive...

Lonstein J, Quadros P, Wagner C
Behav Neurosci . 2001 Mar; 115(1):58-70. PMID: 11256453
Exposure to gonadal hormones during perinatal life influences later behavior. The finding that sex differences exist in progestin receptor expression in the perinatal rat brain suggests differential sensitivity of male...

Lonstein J, Wagner C, de Vries G
Horm Behav . 1999 Dec; 36(3):242-51. PMID: 10603288
Virgin female rats display maternal behaviors after continuous exposure to pups (sensitization) that are in some respects similar to those of postpartum females. We herein provide a detailed comparison of...

Forger N, Wagner C, Contois M, Bengston L, MacLennan A
J Neurosci . 1998 Oct; 18(21):8720-9. PMID: 9786979
Ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor alpha (CNTFRalpha) is the ligand-binding component of the CNTF receptor. CNTFRalpha expression is essential for the normal development of spinal motoneurons and is required for the...

Wagner C, Nakayama A, de Vries G
Endocrinology . 1998 Jul; 139(8):3658-61. PMID: 9681521
In rats, fetal testosterone directs sexual differentiation of the brain. However, fetuses are also exposed to maternal progesterone. Here we report that progestin receptor immunoreactivity in the medial preoptic nucleus...

Wagner C, Silverman A, Morrell J
J Comp Neurol . 1998 Mar; 392(3):330-42. PMID: 9511921
The habenular complex is involved in several estrogen-dependent reproductive behaviors in female rats, namely, sexual behavior, maternal behavior, and postpartum sexual behavior. Although it is known that estrogen acts in...
