    Sexual Differentiation of the Vertebrate Nervous System

    T HE S EXUAL B RAIN REVIEW Sexual differentiation of the vertebrate nervous system John A Morris, Cynthia L Jordan & S Marc Breedlove Understanding the mechanisms that give rise to sex differences in the behavior of nonhuman animals may contribute to the understanding of sex differences in humans. In vertebrate model systems, a single factor—the steroid hormone testosterone— accounts for most, and perhaps all, of the known sex differences in neural structure and behavior. Here we review some of the events triggered by testosterone that masculinize the developing and adult nervous system, promote male behaviors and suppress female behaviors. Testosterone often sculpts the developing nervous system by inhibiting or exacerbating cell death and/or by modulating the formation and elimination of synapses. Experience, too, can interact with testosterone to enhance or diminish its effects on the central nervous system. However, more work is needed to uncover the particular cells and specific genes on which http://www.nature.com/natureneuroscience testosterone acts to initiate these events. The steps leading to masculinization of the body are remarkably con- Apoptosis and sexual dimorphism in the nervous system sistent across mammals: the paternally contributed Y chromosome Lesions of the entire preoptic area (POA) in the anterior hypothala- contains the sex-determining region of the Y (Sry) gene, which mus eliminate virtually all male copulatory behaviors3,whereas induces the undifferentiated gonads to form as testes (rather than lesions restricted to the sexually dimorphic nucleus of the POA (SDN- ovaries).

However, recent reports suggest that the relationship between Sexual preferences androgens and male-typical behaviors is not always linear – when androgen signaling is increased in male Sexual orientation rodents, via exogenous androgen exposure or androgen receptor overexpression, males continue to exhibit male- typical sexual behaviors, but their sexual preferences are altered such that their interest in same-sex partners is increased. Analogous to this rodent literature, recent findings indicate that high level androgen exposure may contribute to the sexual orientation of a subset of gay men who prefer insertive anal sex and report more male- typical gender traits, whereas gay men who prefer receptive anal sex, and who on average report more gender nonconformity, present with biomarkers suggestive of low androgen exposure.

We will also investigate how the nervous system is affected by substances including hormones, pharmacological therapeutics and recreational drugs. In addition we will examine neurological disorders and their treatment. Learning Outcomes: • Students should be able to state examples of theoretical perspectives and major findings across broad areas of neuroscience, e.g., anatomical, behavioral, developmental, clinical, comparative, and computational. • Students should be able to demonstrate a depth of knowledge in self-selected areas of study in behavioral neuroscience and develop testable research questions based upon this knowledge. • Students should be able to relate behavioral neuroscience with other disciplines, e.g., computer science, theoretical physics, health sciences, sport and society, sociology.

    Sexual Orientation and the Second to Fourth Finger Length Ratio: a Meta-Analysis in Men and Women

    Behavioral Neuroscience © 2010 American Psychological Association 2010, Vol. 124, No. 2, 278–287 0735-7044/10/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/a0018764 Sexual Orientation and the Second to Fourth Finger Length Ratio: A Meta-Analysis in Men and Women Teresa Grimbos Khytam Dawood and Robert P. Burriss Ontario Institute for Studies in Education/University of Toronto Pennsylvania State University Kenneth J. Zucker David A. Puts Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Pennsylvania State University The ratio of the lengths of the second and fourth fingers (2D:4D) may serve as a marker for prenatal androgen signaling. Because people are typically unaware of their 2D:4D, its use allows possible effects of early sex hormone regimes and socialization to be disentangled. We conducted a meta-analysis on relationships between 2D:4D and sexual orientation in men and women in 18 independent samples of men and 16 independent samples of women. Collectively, these samples comprised 1,618 heterosexual men, 1,693 heterosexual women, 1,503 gay men, and 1,014 lesbians. In addition to identifying the normative heterosexual sex difference in 2D:4D for both hands, we found that heterosexual women had higher (more feminine) left- and right-hand 2D:4D than did lesbians, but we found no difference between heterosexual and gay men. Moderator analyses suggested that ethnicity explained some between-studies variation in men. These results add to a literature suggesting that early sex hormone signaling affects sexual orientation in women, and highlight the need for further research exploring the relationships among 2D:4D, sexual orientation, and ethnicity in men.
