Regulation of neural gene expression by estrogen receptor alpha

2020-10-21

Abstract excerpt

The transcription factor estrogen receptor α (ERα) is a principal regulator of sex differences in the vertebrate brain and can modulate mood, behavior, and energy balance in females and males. However, the genes regulated by ERα in the brain remain largely unknown. Here we reveal the genomic binding of ERα within a sexually dimorphic neural circuit that regulates social behaviors. We profiled gene expression and c...
