Back to the future: The organizational-activational hypothesis adapted to puberty and adolescenceKalynn M Schulz
Department of Psychiatry and Developmental Psychobiology Program, University of Colorado, Denver Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora, CO 80045, USA
Horm Behav 55:597-604. 2009..The implications for human adolescent development are also discussed, especially with respect to how animal models can help to elucidate the factors underlying the association between pubertal timing and adult psychopathology in humans...
Maternal stress during pregnancy causes sex-specific alterations in offspring memory performance, social interactions, indices of anxiety, and body massKalynn M Schulz
Department of Psychiatry, University of Colorado Denver, Aurora, CO 80045, USA
Physiol Behav 104:340-7. 2011..In summary, these data indicate that PS differentially impacts males and females resulting in sex-specific adult behavioral and bodily phenotypes...
Testosterone programs adult social behavior before and during, but not after, adolescenceKalynn M Schulz
Department of Psychology and Neuroscience Program, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48824, USA
Endocrinology 150:3690-8. 2009..Thus, adolescent maturation of social behavior may involve both steroid-independent and -dependent processes, and adolescence marks the end of a postnatal period of sensitivity to steroid-dependent organization of the brain...
Pubertal testosterone organizes regional volume and neuronal number within the medial amygdala of adult male Syrian hamstersKayla C De Lorme
Department of Psychology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA
Brain Res 1460:33-40. 2012..In conclusion, pubertal testosterone organizes the medial amygdala in a subregion-specific manner, which may contribute to the maturation of adult-typical social behavior...
Gonadal hormones masculinize and defeminize reproductive behaviors during puberty in the male Syrian hamsterKalynn M Schulz
Department of Psychology and Neuroscience Program, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA
Horm Behav 45:242-9. 2004..These studies demonstrate that gonadal hormones during puberty further masculinize and defeminize neural circuits and behavioral responsiveness to steroid hormones in adulthood...
Pubertal hormones modulate the addition of new cells to sexually dimorphic brain regionsEman I Ahmed
Neuroscience Program, 108 Giltner Hall, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48824, USA
Nat Neurosci 11:995-7. 2008..Removing gonadal hormones before puberty eliminates these sex differences, indicating that gonadal steroids direct the addition of new cells during puberty to maintain and accentuate sexual dimorphisms in the adult brain...
Adolescent development of neuron structure in dentate gyrus granule cells of male Syrian hamstersJulia L Zehr
Neuroscience Program, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48824, USA
Dev Neurobiol 68:1517-26. 2008....
Testicular hormone exposure during adolescence organizes flank-marking behavior and vasopressin receptor binding in the lateral septumKalynn M Schulz
Department of Psychology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA
Horm Behav 50:477-83. 2006..These data highlight the importance of gonadal steroid hormone exposure during adolescence for the organization of neural circuits and social behavior...
Dendritic pruning of the medial amygdala during pubertal development of the male Syrian hamsterJulia L Zehr
Neuroscience Program, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA
J Neurobiol 66:578-90. 2006....
Pubertal hormones, the adolescent brain, and the maturation of social behaviors: Lessons from the Syrian hamsterKalynn M Schulz
Department of Psychology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, United States
Mol Cell Endocrinol 254:120-6. 2006..Thus, the interaction between pubertal hormones and the adolescent brain is key for the maturation of adult social behaviors, and perturbations in the timing of this interaction have long-lasting consequences on adult behavior...
Puberty: a finishing school for male social behaviorCheryl L Sisk
Neuroscience Program and Department of Psychology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48824, USA
Ann N Y Acad Sci 1007:189-98. 2003..Whether puberty is a critical period for the proposed second wave of steroid-dependent organization of behavioral circuits remains to be determined...
Medial preoptic area dopaminergic responses to female pheromones develop during puberty in the male Syrian hamsterKalynn M Schulz
Department of Psychology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA
Brain Res 988:139-45. 2003..The absence of a DA response to female pheromones prior to puberty may contribute to the inability of prepubertal males to display reproductive behavior...
Testosterone, puberty, and the pattern of male aggression in Syrian hamstersRussell D Romeo
Department of Psychology and Neuroscience Program, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA
Dev Psychobiol 43:102-8. 2003....
