Adult male rat hippocampus synthesizes estradiol from pregnenolone by cytochromes P45017alpha and P450 aromatase localized in neurons.
TLDR
Results imply that 17beta-estradiol is synthesized by P45017alpha and P450 aromatase localized in hippocampal neurons from endogenous cholesterol, and may be regulated by a glutamate-mediated synaptic communication that evokes Ca(2+) signals.

Rapid modulation of long‐term depression and spinogenesis via synaptic estrogen receptors in hippocampal principal neurons
TLDR
Two types of independent synaptic plasticity, long‐term depression and spinogenesis, were investigated, in response to 17β‐estradiol and agonists of estrogen receptors using hippocampal slices from adult male rats, and it was demonstrated that estradiol rapidly enhanced LTD not only in CA1 but also in CA3 and dentate gyrus.

Comparison between hippocampus-synthesized and circulation-derived sex steroids in the hippocampus.
TLDR
It is suggested that male hippocampal E2 synthesis pathway may be androstenedione --> T --> E2 or dehydroepiandrosterone --> and Frostenediol --> T ― E2 but not androstensione --> E1 --> E 2.

STUDIES ON JAPANESE COMPOUND STYELID ASCIDIANS -II. A NEW SPECIES OF THE GENUS BOTRYLLOIDES AND REDESCRIPTION OF B. VIOLACEUS OKA-
TLDR
It has become clear that the two forms of Botrylloides mentioned above are quite distinct from each other, and the authors are now facing a taxonomic problem to determine by which of these two forms Botryllid violaceus should be represented.

Studies on the formation of germ cells in a compound ascidian Botryllus, primigenus oka
TLDR
Gametogenesis of a compound ascidian Botryllus primigenus was studied histologically and it was found that either a single testis or a complex of an egg follicle and a testis can be formed on either side of the zooid.
