TL;DR: It is found that DHT significantly increased NMDA receptor binding in the CA1 region of males but had no effect on ChAT cell number in the forebrain or hemicholinium-3-sensitive choline transporter protein levels in theCA1 region, which indicates that, similar to E-induced spinogenesis in females, DHT-induced increases in spine formation in males may require increases in NMDA receptors.

TL;DR: There is a sex difference in the level of binding in the very caudal ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus in males and females, and these effects may be functionally related to GABAergic control of female sexual behavior.

TL;DR: The numerical and phenotypic changes in bDC indicate these cells may serve as an important immune component in the functional and anatomic alterations associated with aging.

TL;DR: Data suggest that corticosteroid binding globulins may facilitate [3H]corticosterone binding to neuronal membranes, however, the addition of blood to perfused brains before homogenization did not restore high-affinity binding, so the role of plasma binding Globulins is unclear.

TL;DR: It is speculated that gp130 cytokines play a paracrine, neuromodulatory role in the hippocampus since both before and after seizure, principal cells appear to be the major cell type expressing the receptors for these cytokines.
