Variants in the estrogen receptor alpha gene and its mRNA contribute to risk for schizophreniaCynthia Shannon Weickert
MiNDS Unit, Section on Neuropathology, GCAP, NIMH, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Hum Mol Genet 17:2293-309. 2008..Thus, the variation in the ESR1 gene is associated with schizophrenia and the mechanism of this association may involve alternative gene regulation and transcript processing...
Age-related differences in glucocorticoid receptor mRNA levels in the human brainWilliam R Perlman
MiNDS Unit, Intramural Research Program, National Institute of Mental Health, National Institutes of Health, U S Department of Health and Human Services, Bethesda, MD 20892 1385, USA
Neurobiol Aging 28:447-58. 2007..Increased GR mRNA in prefrontal cortex during adolescence and adulthood suggests that human GR-mediated forebrain regulation of cognition and the neuroendocrine stress response may be more salient during late maturation and at maturity...
Expression of estrogen receptor alpha exon-deleted mRNA variants in the human and non-human primate frontal cortexW R Perlman
Clinical Brain Disorders Branch, National Institute of Mental Health, National Institutes of Health, United States Department of Health and Human Services, Bethesda, MD 20892 1385, USA
Neuroscience 134:81-95. 2005....
Estradiol alters transcription factor gene expression in primate prefrontal cortexJ Wang
Developmental Endocrinology Branch, National Institute of Child Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA
J Neurosci Res 76:306-14. 2004..These data indicate that estrogen may have direct as well as indirect effects on neuronal gene expression in the primate prefrontal cortex...
Cloning and expression of zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) steroidogenic factor 1: overlap with hypothalamic but not with telencephalic aromataseRobert J Agate
Department of Physiological Science, Brain Research Institute, University of California Los Angeles, 621 Charles E Young Drive South, Los Angeles, CA 90095 1606
Biol Reprod 66:1127-33. 2002..These findings suggest that steroidogenesis in the zebra finch brain may be regulated by both SF1-dependent and SF1-independent mechanisms. No sex differences were detected in SF1 expression in brain...
Alteration in estrogen receptor alpha mRNA levels in frontal cortex and hippocampus of patients with major mental illnessWilliam R Perlman
Clinical Brain Disorders Branch, Intramural Research Program, National Institute of Mental Health, National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, MD 20892-1385, USA
Biol Psychiatry 58:812-24. 2005..CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that alterations in ERalpha mRNA levels exist in distinct telencephalic regions in male and female MDD patients, and in both genders in schizophrenia...
Reduced glucocorticoid and estrogen receptor alpha messenger ribonucleic acid levels in the amygdala of patients with major mental illnessWilliam R Perlman
Clinical Brain Disorders Branch, Intramural Research Program, National Institute of Mental Health, National Institutes of Health, U S Department of Health and Human Services, Bethesda, Maryland, USA
Biol Psychiatry 56:844-52. 2004..We also hypothesized that estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) mRNA expression might be altered in the amygdala, on the basis of observed gender differences in mental illness...
Expression of androgen receptor mRNA in zebra finch song system: developmental regulation by estrogenYong-Hwan Kim
Department of Physiological Science and Laboratory of Neuroendocrinology of the Brain Research Institute, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California 90095, USA
J Comp Neurol 469:535-47. 2004....
Expression of estrogen receptor and aromatase mRNAs in embryonic and posthatch zebra finch brainWilliam R Perlman
Department of Physiological Science, Interdepartmental Program for Neuroscience and Laboratory of Neuroendocrinology of the Brain Research Institute, University of California, Los Angeles, California 90095, USA
J Neurobiol 55:204-19. 2003..The results fail to provide support for the hypothesis that sexual differentiation of the song system is mediated by sex differences in the expression of these mRNAs at these ages...
Expression of androgen receptor mRNA in the late embryonic and early posthatch zebra finch brainWilliam R Perlman
Department of Physiological Science, Interdepartmental Program for Neuroscience and Laboratory of Neuroendocrinology of the Brain Research Institute, University of California, Los Angeles, California 90095 1606, USA
J Comp Neurol 455:513-30. 2003..Our results suggested that androgens act early in neural development and therefore may contribute to the process of sexual differentiation...
