Hormones and brain plasticity /

Proposing that hormones modulate metaplasticity in the brain, the author covers a wide variety of hormones, brain regions, and neuroplastic events, and also provides a new theoretical background with which to interpret the interaction of hormones and brain remodeling throughout the entire life of th...
