Traumatized and inflamed — But resilient: Glial aromatization and the avian brain

This article is part of a Special Issue “Hormones & Neurotrauma”. Steroids like estrogens have potent effects on the vertebrate brain, and are provided to neural targets from peripheral and central sources. Estradiol synthesized within the vertebrate CNS modulates neural structure and function, including the pathways involved in neuroprotection, and perhaps, neural repair. Specifically, aromatase; […]
