Sex differences in distribution and identity of aromatase gene expressing cells in the young adult rat brain

, 2023
Background: Aromatase catalyzes the synthesis of estrogens from androgens. Knowledge on its regional expression in the brain is of relevance to the behavioral implications of these hormones that might be linked to sex differences in mental health.

Sex Differences in Neurotoxicogenetics

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018
A major development in biomedical research is the recognition that the sex of an individual plays a key role in susceptibility, treatment, and outcomes of most diseases. In this contribution, we present evidence that sex is also important in the toxicity of many environmental toxicants and contributes to the effect of genetics.

Sex differences in mouse infralimbic cortex projections to the nucleus accumbens shell

Biology of Sex Differences, 2023
Background The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is an important region in motivation and reward. Glutamatergic inputs from the infralimbic cortex (ILC) to the shell region of the NAc (NAcSh) have been implicated in driving the motivation to seek reward through ...

The Trouble with Sex Differences [PDF]

Neuron, 2011
Sex differences in the brain are real and clinically important but often grossly distorted in popular discourse. Considering the public's deep fascination with sex difference research and its impact on issues from mental health to education and workplace equity, neuroscientists should pay greater heed to its misappropriation and to studying how gender ...

Gender score development in the Berlin Aging Study II: a retrospective approach

Biology of Sex Differences, 2021
In addition to biological sex, gender, defined as the sociocultural dimension of being a woman or a man, plays a central role in health. However, there are so far few approaches to quantify gender in a retrospective manner in existing study datasets.
