Recenzje

Understanding the role of estrogens in mediating memory is key to elucidating critical questions of human health such as: How are estrogens involved in the memory aspects of neuropsychiatric disorders? Are those memory circuits established before birth? What are the underlying causes of Alzheimer's disease in women? Can estrogens be used therapeutically to maintain memory function as we age? This outstanding compendium of research from scientists at the cutting edge of estrogen research provides the tools to think about all of these important questions and more. Organized to present a translational and trans-species perspective, it moves from the molecular to the behavioral as it presents a lucid and deep exposition of current knowledge that will inspire and underscore estrogens' key role in memory, one of the essential attributes that make us human."
