Behavioral analysis of genetically modified mice indicates essential roles of neurosteroidal estrogen
Brain aromatase is expressed only in the nerve cells of specific brain regions with a transient peak at the neonatal period when sexual behaviors become organized. Aromatase knockout (ArKO) mouse, generated to give light on the physiological functions of estrogen in the brain, exhibited various abno...
