Sex Differences in the Human Brain and the Impact of Sex Chromosomes and Sex Hormones

13 Aug 2012

Abstract excerpt

While there has been increasing support for the existence of cerebral sex differences, the mechanisms underlying these differences are unclear. 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 before the onset of...
