Journal ArticleDOI
Sex chromosome genes directly affect brain sexual differentiation
TL;DR: Using mice in which the genetic sex of the brain was independent of gonadal phenotype, it was found that XY and XX brain cells differed in phenotype, indicating that a brain cell's complement of sex chromosomes may contribute to its sexual differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual differentiation of monoaminergic neurons - genetic or epigenetic?
Ingrid Reisert,Christoph Pilgrim +1 more
TL;DR: There are a number of observations that are not explainable by the 'androgen theory of sexual differentiation' and results obtained from cultures of embryonic rat brain tissue appear to indicate that dopaminergic neurons may develop morphological and functional sex differences in the absence of sex steroids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dopamine content and metabolism in mesencephalic and diencephalic cell cultures: sex differences and effects of sex steroids.
TL;DR: It is proposed that sexual differentiation of dopaminergic systems proceeds in a region-specific fashion and that neurogenesis and development of various parameters of dopamine activity may be differentially affected.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Y-chromosomal genes SRY and ZFY are transcribed in adult human brain
TL;DR: It is proposed that neurons are capable of acquiring sex-specific properties independently of their hormonal environment, and two Y-chromosomal genes involved in sex determination of the gonad are transcribed in hypothalamus, and frontal and temporal cortex of the adult male human brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcription of the Y chromosomal gene, Sry, in adult mouse brain.
TL;DR: The Y chromosomal gene Sry encodes a putative transcription factor which appears to serve as a master switch initiating testicular development and it is proposed that Sry exerts a role in the regulation of sex differentiation of the mammalian nervous system.
