Sex in the brain: hormones and sex differences
Contrary to popular belief, sex hormones act throughout the entire brain of both males and females via both genomic and nongenomic receptors. Many neural and behavioral functions are affected by estrogens, including mood, cognitive function, blood pressure regulation, motor coordination, pain, and opioid sensitivity. Subtle sex differences exist for many of these functions that are developmenta...

in scientific research are often males. Such bias is evident because researchers avoid using female animals as they are concerned that their reproductive cycles and hormone fluctuations may confound the results of their studies, which may lead to some disparity observed between preclinical studies and clinical trials. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States has been directi...
متن کاملGenome and Hormones: Gender Differences in Physiology Invited Review: Sex-based differences in gene expression
Ostrer, Harry Invited Review: Sex-based differences in gene expression. J Appl Physiol 91: 2384–2388, 2001.—Certain diseases are more prevalent among women than men. The reasons for this increased prevalence are unknown, but there could be a genetic basis. Increased expression of X-linked genes in females, protective effects of Y-linked genes in males, or sex-limited gene expression that is dev...

Based on animal data, it has long been believed that sexual differentiation of the brain is primarily linked to organizational effects of fetal testosterone. This view is, however, in question as more recent data show the presence of sex differences bef...
