One exciting area of our work concerns hormone regulation of cortical amine neurotransmitters. These transmitters in particular are linked to pathophysiology and treatment of mental illness. As these disorders are also distinguished by cortical symptoms whose expression and response to drug treatment typically show gender bias, the question of hormone modulation of cortical amines becomes particularly important.
