Hippocampal Function and Gonadal Steroids

The hippocampus plays a central role to form new episodic memory in various species in‐ cluding humans (Scoville and Milner, 1959). The hippocampal neurons seem to process vari‐ ety of information, such as spatial location (Wills et al., 2010), temporal information (Mitsushima et al., 2009), and emotional state (Chen et al., 2011) within specific episodes (Komorowski et al., 2009; Gelbard-Sagiv...

Glassfiber paper chromatography of adrenal and gonadal steroids.

URRENT METHODS of paper chromatography for separation of steroids from biologic fluids utilize filter paper strips and various partition systems described by Zaffaroni et at. (1) and Bush (2). Chromatography of steroids on alumina-impregnated filter paper was also investigated by Bush (2), but not widely adopted because of certain limitations. Glass-fiber paper impregnated with various adsorben...

Roles of sex and gonadal steroids in mammalian pheromonal communication.

A brain circuit (the accessory olfactory system) that originates in the vomeronasal organ (VNO) and includes the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) plus additional forebrain regions mediates many of the effects of pheromones, typically comprised of a variety of non-volatile and volatile compounds, on aspects of social behavior. A second, parallel circuit (the main olfactory system) that originates ...

Gonadal steroids, brain, and behavior: role of context

The nature and extent of the impact of gender and reproductive function on mood has been the subject of speculation and controversy for centuries. Over the past 50 years, however, it has become increasingly clear that not only is the brain a major target of reproductive steroid hormones, but additionally, the steroid hormones, as neuroregulators, create a context thai influences a broad range o...
