Estrogens dynamically regulate neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of adult female rats

This study shows estradiol and estrone differentially affect neurogenesis in adult female rats' dentate gyrus, with short-term effects but not long-term.

High Estradiol reduces adult neurogenesis but strengthens functional connectivity within the hippocampus during spatial pattern separation in adult female rats

Sex differences in contextual pattern separation, activation of new neurons, and functional connectivity within the limbic system

This study examines sex differences in fear memory, new neuron activation, and functional connectivity in the limbic system using rats.

Risk-based Decision Making in Rats: Modulation by Sex and Amphetamine

This study investigates sex differences and the effects of gonadal hormones and amphetamine on risk-based decision making in rats using a probabilistic discounting task.

Sex differences in maturation and attrition of adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus

This study shows male rats have faster maturation and greater attrition of adult-born neurons in the hippocampus compared to females, highlighting sex differences in neurogenesis.
