Testosterone (T) and cortisol (C) are steroid hormones that have been argued to play
opposing roles in shaping physical and behavioral development in humans. While there is …

Testosterone (T) and cortisol (C) are the end products of neuroendocrine axes that interact
with the process of shaping brain structure and function. Relative levels of T: C (TC ratio) …

Neuroendocrine theories of brain development hold testosterone as the predominant factor
mediating sex-specific cortical growth and the ensuing lateralization of hemispheric function …

Animal and human research suggests that testosterone is associated with hippocampal
structure and function. Studies examining the association between testosterone and either …

Testosterone is thought to play a crucial role in mediating sexual differentiation of brain
structures. Examinations of the cognitive effects of testosterone have also shown beneficial …

Background: Neuroendocrine theories of hemispheric lateralization hold testosterone as the
predominant factor mediating sex-specific patterns of cortical growth and the ensuing …

Age-related changes in cortical thickness have been observed during adolescence,
including thinning in frontal and parietal cortices, and thickening in the lateral temporal …

Neuroendocrine theories of brain development posit that androgens play a crucial role in
sex‐specific cortical growth, although little is known about the differential effects of …

Background The hippocampus undergoes substantial structural and functional changes
during puberty, and animal studies have demonstrated that puberty-related gonadal …

Puberty reflects a period of hormonal changes, physical maturation and structural brain
reorganization. However, little attention has been paid to what extent sex steroids and …
