| Research Abstract |
The present project was undertaken to reveal the interaction of genomic and non-genomic actions of steroid hormones in the nervous system. The study demonstrated the genomic actions of steroid hormones through specific nuclear receptors and non-genomic actions through membrane steroid receptors by using molecular imaging technique, immunohistochemistry and transgenic mouse. The effects of genomic and non-genomic action on brain sexual differentiation and stress responses during critical period were also investigated behaviorally.
