Estradiol alters transcription factor gene expression in primate prefrontal cortex
23 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
Estrogen protects neurons from a variety of experimental insults in vitro, and is thought to protect from acute and chronic neurodegenerative processes in vivo. Estrogen also enhances higher-level cognitive functions that are centered in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in human and non-human primates. To investigate genomic mechanisms involved in estrogenic effects on the primate brain in vivo, we...
