Project Summary Memory impairment is a defining characteristic of many neuropsychiatric disorders, however, an understanding of the complex neural mechanisms regulating hippocampal memory formation remains elusive. The sex steroid 17β-estradiol (E2) is a powerful modulator of hippocampal plasticity and memory in both males and females, however the neural mechanisms through which this occurs are poorly understood. Therefore, the long-term goal of our research is to pinpoint the neural mechanisms through which E2 regulates hippocampal memory consolidation in males and females. The overall objectives of this application are to determine the mechanisms through which E2 regulates activity of the…
