Hippocampal Synthesis of Sex Steroids and Corticosteroids: Essential for Modulation of Synaptic Plasticity

Hippocampal Synthesis of Sex Steroids and Corticosteroids: Essential for Modulation of Synaptic Plasticity

Sex steroids play essential roles in the modulation of synaptic plasticity and neuroprotection in the hippocampus. Accumulating evidence shows that hippocampal neurons synthesize both estrogen and androgen. Recently, we also revealed the hippocampal synthesis of corticosteroids. The accurate concent...
