• Reframing sexual differentiation of the brain (2011, background): “In mammalian males, the spinal cord nucleus, SNB, which contains motoneurons controlling striated muscles of the penis, is larger in males, as are several nuclei in or directly associated with the medial preoptic area of the hypothalamus (MPOA), a major brain region controlling male sexual behavio”
• Sexually dimorphic neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus govern mating in both sexes and aggression in males (2013, positive): “…influence on vertebrate sex-typical behaviors by controlling sex differences in the brain (Cooke et al., 1998; Dewing et al., 2003; Gagnidze et al., 2010; Jazin and Cahill, 2010; McCarthy and Arnold, 2011; Morris et al., 2004; Simerly, 2002; De Vries, 1990; Xu et al., 2012; Yang et al., 2006).”
• Sex Differences in the Brain: The Not So Inconvenient Truth (2012, background): “…bulimia is three times as prevalent and anorexia nervosa is a disturbing 13 times more frequent in women (De Vries and Simerly, 2002; Simerly, 2002; Morris et al., 2004; Baron-Cohen et al., 2005; Cahill, 2006; Forger, 2009; McCarthy et al., 2009; Abel et al., 2010; Jazin and Cahill, 2010; McCarthy…”
• Embodiment or envatment? Reflections on the bodily basis of consciousness (2010, background): “…hormones testosterone and estrogen, as well as the hormone adipocyte-derived leptin, play a critical role in determining patterns of synaptogenesis and axon guidance, and therefore deeply influence the development of the nervous system (Lathe 2001; Morris, Jordan, and Breedlove 2004; Simerly 2005).”
• Kisspeptins and reproduction: physiological roles and regulatory mechanisms. (2012, background): “In this process, key neuronal networks at the hypothalamus become organized in a permanent manner differentially in males and females (146, 288).”
• The neural basis of puberty and adolescence (2004, background): “Traditional thinking holds that gonadal steroids, acting during a sensitive period spanning late embryonic and early neonatal development, sexually differentiate neural circuits that are destined to mediate adult male and female reproductive behavior (see accompanying revie”
• Estrogen Actions in the Brain and the Basis for Differential Action in Men and Women: A Case for Sex-Specific Medicines (2010, background): “The classic concept of sexual differentiation of the brain, originating from work on the hypothalamus, states that once formation of the fetal testes is established by the Sry gene (sex determining region of the Y chromosome), sexual differentiation of the brain is a hormone-dependent process (Arnol”
