Early androgen exposure, gender, and disorder-relevant traits

2018-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Thousands of animal experiments have demonstrated that androgenic hormones, such as testosterone, during the prenatal and early postnatal periods, masculinise and defeminise various neural and behavioural characteristics that differ by sex. Can these findings from animal experiments be generalised to human behaviour? Can early androgen exposure shape subsequent gender-related disorders in humans? Chapter 1 (Introd...
