Hormonal influences during early development shape human sex-differentiated behaviors like play, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Research on animal models and intersex cases informs our understanding of neurobehavioral development.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Endocrinology
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Gonadal hormones play a critical role in sexual differentiation of the brain and behavior.
  • Understanding these influences is crucial for predicting human neurobehavioral development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review animal models and clinical intersex cases to understand hormonal influences on human neurobehavioral development.
  • To identify specific behaviors influenced by the prenatal and neonatal hormone environment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of animal studies on gonadal hormone effects on brain and behavior.
  • Analysis of behavioral outcomes in human clinical intersex conditions (e.g., congenital adrenal hyperplasia, androgen insensitivity syndrome).
  • Examination of outcomes from hormonal treatments during pregnancy.

Main Results:

  • The prenatal/neonatal hormone environment significantly contributes to sex-differentiated human behaviors.
  • Key influenced behaviors include childhood play, sexual orientation, and gender identity.
  • Evidence also suggests hormonal influences on aggression and cognition.

Conclusions:

  • Hormonal milieu in early development is a key factor in human sex differences in behavior.
  • Further research is required to understand why some intersex individuals assigned female do not identify with that role.
