Abstract excerpt
Estrogen receptors (ER) are crucial for estrogen-dependent brain differentiation and for estrogen-dependent neural functions of vertebrates. ER are expressed in a area-specific pattern in the vertebrate brain. The mechanisms that lead to the area-specific expression of ER are unknown. Here we use a species difference in the ER distribution between quail and chick and isochronic and isotopic quail to chick...
