Sample text
Over the three decades following this seminal paper, an enormous literature emerged describing numerous sexual dimorphisms in the adult nervous system and uncovering the developmental processes by which these sex differences come to be. Structural sexual dimorphisms are typically manifested as sex differences in cell group volume, neuron or glial cell number, soma size, dendritic arborizations, dendritic spine density, degree of myelination, or some combination of these features. One principle derived from early studies of developmental mechanisms of sexual dimorphisms was that testicular hormones drive the perinatal creation of sexual dimorphisms in nervous system structure.
However, all the above-mentioned studies examined individuals in adulthood, when both organizational and activational steroid hormone effects have already sculpted the brain into a sex-specific configuration. Objectives GD often shows up at early pre-pubertal ages. In general, sex reassignment for individuals with GD was met with a great deal of skepticism, and this is even more evident when it comes to the treatment of young people. Thus, no irreversible interventions such as hormonal and surgical treatments were allowed before adulthood.
Testosterone treatments were designed to simulate early, on-time, and late pubertal development, and all behavior testing occurred in adulthood after a 1-week treatment with testosterone-filled or blank subcutaneous pellets. Only before- and during-adolescent testosterone treatments facilitated mounting behavior in response to testosterone in adulthood. The percentage of male hamsters that showed intromissions was increased only by before-adolescent testosterone treatments. These data suggest that early testosterone treatments enhance behavioral responsiveness to testosterone in adulthood.
