Abstract

estradiol neuroendrocrinology neuron number superior cervical ganglion synaptogenesis
Previous studies have shown that neonatal treatment of male or female rats with testosterone propionate dramatically increases the number of neurons and synapses in the superior cervical sympathetic ganglion. We now report that administration of another gonadal steroid, 17-β-estradiol, over the first 2 postnatal weeks nearly doubles the number of postganglionic neurons and synapses in the male superior cervical ganglion.
