Clinically relevant basic science studies of gender differences and sex
hormone effects.
Ovarian steroids produce a variety of effects on the brain, influencing
diverse nonreproductive processes such as cognitive function, motor
activity, seizure susceptibility, and pain sensitivity, as well as
pathological processes such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.
Studies of ovarian hormone effects on animal brains have revealed a wide
array of neurochemical and structural effects of ovarian steroids, which
are reviewed in this article.
These studies provide a foundation for understanding hormone effects on
mood, behavior, and cognition in the menstrual cycle, during reproductive
transitions and in depressive illness.
