The social re-orientation of adolescence: a neuroscience perspective on the process and its relation to psychopathology (2005, background): “The regions that make up the affective node are densely innervated by gonadal steroid receptors and undergo both functional and anatomical reorganization during puberty (Geidd et al. 1997; McEwen, 2001; Osterlund & Hurd, 2001; Romeo et al. 2002; Stevens, 2002).”
The link between childhood trauma and depression: insights from HPA axis studies in humans. (2008, positive): “Other factors that might determine sex differences in the stress response therefore include genomic differences, organizational differences in brain structures or developmentally programmed effects of gonadal steroids (Kudielka and Kirschbaum, 2005; McEwen, 2001; Roca et al., 2005).”
Sex, Gender, and Pain: A Review of Recent Clinical and Experimental Findings (2009, background): “Furthermore, brain serotonergic function is modulated by ovarian hormones.(270,271) Clinical research also suggests that the greater brain 5-HT synthesis in fe-”
Current research trends in early life stress and depression: review of human studies on sensitive periods, gene-environment interactions, and epigenetics. (2012, positive): “Estrogens and progesterone have marked effects on brain structure and function (McEwen, 2001).”
Evolving knowledge of sex differences in brain structure, function, and chemistry. (2007, background): “Estrogen is critically involved in the sexual differentiation of the brain (5) and thus likely contributes to sex differences in brain morphology and neurochemistry.”
Neurobiological and psychiatric consequences of child abuse and neglect. (2010, background): “Other factors that might determine sex differences in the stress response include genomic differences, organizational differences in brain structures or developmentally programmed effects of gonadal steroids (McEwen, 2001; Roca et al., 2005).”
Adolescent emotional development and the emergence of depressive disorders (2008, background): “Furthermore, gonadal steroids have their own direct effects on affective processes (Baulieu, 1998; McEwen, 2001).”
Maturation of cognitive processes from late childhood to adulthood. (2004, background): “uration and sex differentiation in cognitive development (Clark & Goldman-Rakic, 1989; McEwen, 2001).”
Estrogen Actions in the Brain and the Basis for Differential Action in Men and Women: A Case for Sex-Specific Medicines (2010, background): “…estrogen in the brain, as evidenced by many excellent reviews (McEwen and Alves, 1999; Toran-Allerand et al., 1999; Green and Simpkins, 2000; Lee and McEwen, 2001; McEwen, 2001; Wise et al., 2001; Maggi et al., 2004; Brann et al., 2007; Raz et al., 2008; Micevych and Dominguez, 2009; Tetel, 2009).”
Wired for reproduction: organization and development of sexually dimorphic circuits in the mammalian forebrain. (2002, background): “The rapidly expanding literature on the neuroprotective actions of estrogen in adult rats is complemented by numerous studies in vitro that more directly inform its possible roles during development (see Garcia-Segura et al. 2001, McEwen 2001, Wise et al. 2001 for reviews).”
