Sex differences in brain epigenetics.

Epigenomics - 1 Dec 2010

Menger Yannick, Bettscheider Marc, Murgatroyd Chris, Spengler Dietmar

Abstract excerpt

Sexual differentiation of the brain takes place during a perinatal-sensitive time window as a result of gonadal hormone-induced activational and organizational effects on neuronal substrates. Increasing evidence suggests that epigenetic mechanisms can contribute to the establishment and maintenance of some aspects of these processes, and that these epigenetic mechanisms may themselves be under the control of sex...
