28 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
Oestrogen modulates cognitive function and affective behaviours subserved by the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Identifying and localising oestrogen receptor (ER)alpha, in human PFC will contribute to our understanding of the molecular mechanism of oestrogen action in this region.
