Synaptic Long-Term Potentiation and Depression in the Rat Medial Vestibular Nuclei Depend on Neural Activation of Estrogenic and Androgenic Signals

research Synaptic Long-Term Potentiation and Depression in the Rat Medial Vestibular Nuclei Depend on Neural Activation of Estrogenic and Androgenic Signals

25 citations , November 2013 in “PLoS ONE”

This study demonstrates that locally synthesized estrogen and androgen neurosteroids play opposite roles in long-term synaptic changes in male rats' medial vestibular nucleus, with testosterone-dihydrotestosterone mediating long-term depression and 17β-estradiol mediating long-term potentiation.
