Estrogen action on sensitive neurons in the rat diencephalon has been studied by morphologic techniques; evidence of estrogen action at every level is presented, including tracts, cells, circuitry and subcellular organelles. The demonstration in the arcuate nucleus of estrogen-induced synaptic remodelling, estrogen-induced postsynaptic membrane phenotypes, changes in intracellular membranes and rapid estrogen actions on neuronal endo-exocytosis indicates that cellular estrogen actions may underlie the neuronal control of reproduction.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D004967 Estrogens Compounds that interact with ESTROGEN RECEPTORS in target tissues to bring about the effects similar to those of ESTRADIOL. Estrogens stimulate the female reproductive organs, and the development of secondary female SEX CHARACTERISTICS. Estrogenic chemicals include natural, synthetic, steroidal, or non-steroidal compounds.
