Multiple Origins of Sex Differences in Brain Neuroendocrine Functions and their Pathologies
In theoretical terms, sex differences in brain and behavior offer the possibility of fascinating scientific studies on a range of molecular phenomena such as DNA methylation, chromatin protein modification, non-coding DNA, resulting in important neuroanatomical and neurochemical effects. However, th...
