non-genomic estrogen-receptor dependent mechanisms of estrogen. It is noteworthy that the research community is expanding the function of steroid hormone receptors beyond the confines of sexual ...

Newly discovered estrogen receptor-dependent signaling pathways demonstrate that estrogen functions in the cytosol as well as in the nucleus. The classic estrogen receptor signaling pathway occurs ...

[14] Although there is currently substantial literature on the putative neuroprotective effects of estrogen on cognitive functions in ... presence of estrogen receptors in many regions involved ...

Estrogen can impact cognition, especially when function is compromised by aging or lesions; however, it does not improve all aspects of cognition, such as acquisition during memory processes.

Just as a machine needs specific controls to function, proteins like the estrogen receptor control how cells grow and behave. "We found previously unknown 'molecular switches' within the estrogen ...

This increase in estrogen receptors is also linked to brain fog ... have profound effects on women’s brain structure and function,” Lisa Mosconi, PhD, director of the Women’s Brain ...
