Although hormones such as glucocorticoids have been broadly accepted in recent decades
as general neuromodulators of memory processes, sex steroid hormones such as the potent …

The female sex hormone estrogen has been ascribed potent neuroprotective properties. It
signals by binding and activating estrogen receptors that, depending on receptor subtype …

Estrogens are the hormones of reproduction in women as well as of many other important
functions in the male and female body. They undergo significant changes in the different …

Estrogen is an important hormone signal that regulates multiple tissues and functions in the
body. This review focuses on the neurotrophic and neuroprotective actions of estrogen in the …

There is ample empirical evidence to support the notion that the biological impacts of
estrogen extend beyond the gonads to other bodily systems, including the brain and …

Estradiol effects on memory depend on hormone levels and the interaction of different
estrogen receptors within neural circuits. Estradiol induces gene transcription and rapid …

A promising strategy to delay and perhaps prevent Alzheimer's disease (AD) is to identify the
age-related changes that put the brain at risk for the disease. A significant normal age …

In the CNS, there are widespread and diverse interactions between growth factors and
estrogen. Here we examine the interactions of estrogen and brain-derived neurotrophic …

This review presents evidence for the idea that the expression of estrogen receptor alpha
and beta (ERα and ERβ) interacts with the level of estradiol (E2) to influence the etiology of …

Histological studies suggest that hippocampal subfields are differently affected by aging and
Alzheimer's disease (AD). The aims of this study were:(1) To test if hippocampal subfields …
