摘要: The brain is an integral component of the reproductive system since secretory activity pituitary and thus gonadal function are under its control, as behavior. Therefore, fact that undergoes sexual differentiation paramount importance to our understanding development system. As a working hypothesis which will be developed in this chapter, we may state brain, regardless genetic sex animal, has potential develop functional morphological characteristics recognized feminine adult. establishment masculine requires exposure effective levels steroids particularly during critical period development. Although cannot completely rule out neuronal genomic factors at present time, such if they exist, appear lesser than hormone environment.
