. 2015 May;
55(2):281-93.
PMID: 25980562
Across invertebrates and vertebrates, steroids are potent signaling molecules that affect nearly every cell in the organism, including cells of the nervous system. Historically, researchers have focused on the genomic...

Horm Behav
. 2014 Dec;
69:31-8.
PMID: 25483754
17β-Estradiol (E2) acts in the brain via genomic and non-genomic mechanisms to influence physiology and behavior. There is seasonal plasticity in the mechanisms by which E2 activates aggression, and non-genomic...

PMID: 22294743
Across vertebrate species, 17β-estradiol (E(2)) acts on the brain via both genomic and nongenomic mechanisms to influence neuronal physiology and behavior. Nongenomic E(2) signaling is typically initiated by membrane-associated estrogen...
