Steroid hormone masculinization of neural structure in rats: a tale of two nuclei.

Physiology & behavior - 15 Nov 2004

Johansen Jamie A, Jordan Cynthia L, Breedlove S Marc

Abstract excerpt

We review the mechanisms by which steroid hormones masculinize two different regions of the central nervous system (CNS) in rats. Although in both cases, androgens induce a male phenotype, the detailed mechanisms are remarkably different in the two models. In the spinal nucleus of the bulbocavernosus (SNB), testosterone must be present during the perinatal period to spare motoneurons and their target muscles from...
