This study found that testosterone and dihydrotestosterone are crucial for synaptic transmission and spine density in male hippocampal neurons, suggesting sex-specific effects of neurosteroids on brain development.

This study found that local synthesis of 17β-estradiol and 5α-dihydrotestosterone, combined with specific stimulation patterns, is crucial in determining the direction and strength of long-term synaptic effects in the hippocampal CA1 region of male rat slices.

In this study, chronic finasteride administration in male rats led to depression- and anxiety-like behaviors only in specific tests and moderately affected hippocampal synaptic plasticity, possibly due to adaptive plasma corticosterone level changes over time.

This study discusses the complex roles and effects of brain-synthesized sex neurosteroids, highlighting sex differences in their concentrations and their varied impacts on synaptic plasticity, cognitive behavior, and aging-related cognitive decline.

This study observed that short-term administration of finasteride in male Wistar rats induced anxiety-like and depression-like behaviors, impaired spatial learning and memory, and reduced synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus, with a trend of increased corticosterone levels noted.
