Interhemispheric coupling coefficients: sex differences in brain neurochemistry.

V H Denenberg, G D Rosen

    The American Journal of Physiology
    |August 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Female rats exhibit stronger hemispheric correlations for key brain chemicals like dopamine in the neocortex compared to males, suggesting sex-based differences in brain organization and neurochemical feedback loops.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Comparative Psychology
    • Neurochemistry

    Background:

    • Hemispheric correlations can indicate a negative feedback loop, suggesting distinct brain organization.
    • Sex differences in brain organization are well-documented, making it a relevant variable for study.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate sex-based differences in brain neurochemical correlations between the left and right hemispheres.
    • To compare male and female rats regarding hemispheric correlations of specific neurochemicals.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparison of male and female rats.
    • Analysis of neurochemical correlations in specific brain regions: nucleus accumbens, striatum, and neocortex.
    • Measurement of dopamine, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, and serotonin turnover.

    Main Results:

    • No significant sex differences in neurochemical correlations were observed in the nucleus accumbens and striatum.
    • Female rats demonstrated significantly higher hemispheric correlations than male rats for dopamine, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, and serotonin turnover in the neocortex.

    Conclusions:

    • Sex influences brain organization, specifically in the neocortex, regarding neurochemical hemispheric correlations.
    • Findings suggest potential sex-specific differences in the regulation of dopamine, 5-HIAA, and serotonin turnover in the rat neocortex.
