    A Model System for the Study of Estrogen Receptor Activity in Cells of Neural Origin

    For quite a long-time we have known that estrogens can modulate brain activities and estrogen receptors (ER) are present in a number of brain regions [1]. However, the study of the activity of estrogens in the...
