Disrupted Estrogen Homeostasis Drives Female-Specific Depressive-Like and Anxiety-Like Behaviors via Convergent ERα Downregulation in the Ventral Hippocampus
Although depression exhibits prominent sex differences, mechanisms linking estrogen fluctuations to this vulnerability remain unclear. Here, we reveal that disrupted estrogen homeostasis induces depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors via convergent downregulation of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and subsequent neuroinf...
