[Effects of estrogen in the CNS]
Abstract:
The data of modern experimental and clinical researches of a estrogen role in pathogenesis of cognitive disorders are analyzed. The estrogen effects on receptor and postreceptor molecular-cellular level, and also its opportunity of cross-talk interaction with various neurotransmitters playing the role in mental functions are described. The data of the estrogen role during cellular differentiation, synaptic neuroplasticity and apoptoz are descibed. In comparative aspect influence [cyrillic word: see text] on training and memory, uneasiness and depression in experiments and in clinic is discussed.
