Estrogens Rapidly Enhance Neural Plasticity and Learning

Estrogens Rapidly Enhance Neural Plasticity and Learning

This thesis examines the rapid, non-genomic effects of estrogens on neural plasticity and learning. Estrogens are classically known to affect gene transcription events, however they have more recently been found to also rapidly activate second messenger systems within 1hr of administration. Therefor...
