Differential role of gonadal hormones on kainic acid–induced neurodegeneration in medial amygdaloid nucleus of female and male rats

Abstract Sex hormones contribute to modulating brain functions throughout the life span. It has been suggested that estrogen prevents neuronal loss in different areas of the CNS such as the hippocampus. However there are less consistent data on its effects on the amygdala. Kainic acid (KA) is used t...
