Clinical investigators have been forced primarily to use experiments of nature (e.g., cloacal exstrophy; androgen insensitivity, congenital adrenal hyperplasia) to assess the contribution of fetal sex hormone exposure to the development of male- and female-typical profiles of gender identity and role behavior as well as sexual orientation. In this review, I summarize the results of numerous correlative as well as mechanistic animal experiments that shed significant light on general…

Perinatal administration of aromatase inhibitors in rodents as animal models of human male homosexuality: similarities and differences.
TLDR
Letrozole prenatal treatment is proposed as a suitable animal model to study human male homosexuality and reinforce the hypothesis that human sexual orientation is underlied by changes in the endocrine milieu during early development.
The neurobiology of sexual partner preferences in rams
TLDR
An overview of sexual differentiation in relation to sexual partner preferences is presented and it is demonstrated that the sexual differentiation of brain and behavior in sheep does not depend critically on aromatization of testosterone to estradiol.

  • J. Bakker

  • 2019
TLDR
The sexual differentiation of the human brain is most likely a multifactorial process including both sex hormone and sex chromosome effects, acting in parallel or in combination.
Sexual Differentiation of the Brain: Mode, Mechanisms, and Meaning
This is an exciting time to study sex differences in the brain. Fifty years of building on the foundations established by the organizational/activational hypothesis of steroid hormone action proposed…
Sex Differentiation: Organizing Effects of Sex Hormones
TLDR
Evidence is found for a role of testosterone in the sexual differentiation of the human brain, in particular in inducing male gender role behavior and heterosexual orientation, and whether estradiol is involved in the development of a female brain in humans still needs to be elucidated.
Surprising origins of sex differences in the brain
TLDR
It is proposed that some neuroanatomical endpoints are canalized to enhance sex differences in the brain by reducing variability within one sex while also preventing the sexes from diverging too greatly.
The ram as a model for behavioral neuroendocrinology
TLDR
The sheep offers a unique model to study male sexual behavior and sexual partner preference and neurochemical and neuroanatomical studies suggest that male-oriented ram behavior may be a consequence of individual variations in brain sexual differentiation.
5.01 – Sexual Differentiation of the Brain: A Fresh Look at Mode, Mechanisms, and Meaning
This is an exciting time to study sex differences in the brain. Fifty-plus years of building on the foundations established by the organizational/activational hypothesis proposed by Phoenix and…
Prepubertal gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog leads to exaggerated behavioral and emotional sex differences in sheep
TLDR
It is concluded that long-term prepubertal GnRHa treatment significantly affected sex-specific brain development, which impacted emotion and behavior regulation in sheep, suggesting that GnRH is a modulator of cognitive function in the developing brain and that the sexes are differentially affected by GnRH modulation.
Clinical implications of the organizational and activational effects of hormones

TLDR
The preponderance of evidence seems to indicate that the theory of organization-activation for the development of sexual behavior is certain for non-human mammals and almost certain for humans.

TLDR
The latest studies in 46, XX subjects exposed to prenatal androgens show that prenatal androgenization of 46,XX fetuses leads to marked masculinization of later gender-related behavior but does not lead to gender confusion/dysphoria, far away from any comprehensive understanding of hormonal imprinting on gender identity formation.

TLDR
Testicular androgen may cause behavioral defeminization only in those species in which expression of feminine sexual behavior normally depends on the neural action of progesterone, acting synergistically with estradiol; new data support this claim in the ferret.
Brain masculinization requires androgen receptor function.
TLDR
It is suggested that perinatal brain masculinization requires AR function and that expression of male-typical behaviors in adults is mediated by both AR-dependent and -independent androgen signaling.
Gender Change from Female to Male in Classical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
TLDR
The most plausible factors contributing to cross-gender identity development in these patients appeared to be neither a particular genotype or endocrinotype nor a sex-typing bias on the part of the parents but a combination of a gender-atypical behavioral self-image, aGender- atypical body image, and the development of erotic attraction to women.
Sex hormones and sexual orientation in animals.
This review critically examines whether sex hormone exposure during prenatal or early postnatal development determines the adult sexual orientation (sexual preferences) of animals. In rats, hamsters,…
Deletion of Bax eliminates sex differences in the mouse forebrain.
TLDR
Bax-dependent cell death is required for sexual differentiation of cell number, regardless of whether testosterone decreases or increases cell death, and the sex difference in AVPV dopaminergic cell number was not affected by Bax gene deletion, demonstrating heterogeneity of mechanisms controlling cell number within a single nucleus.
A difference in hypothalamic structure between heterosexual and homosexual men
TLDR
The measured volumes of INAH 3 indicate that INAH is dimorphic with sexual orientation, at least in men, and suggests that sexual orientation has a biological substrate.
Role of oestrogen in male sexual behaviour: insights from the natural model of aromatase deficiency
TLDR
The gender‐identity, psychosexual orientation and sexual activity of a man with a congenital lack of oestradiol resulting from an inactivating mutation of the aromatase P450 gene was investigated.
Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome: long-term medical, surgical, and psychosexual outcome.
TLDR
Although not perfect, the medical, surgical, and psychosexual outcomes for women with CAIS were satisfactory; however, specific ways for improving long-term treatment of this population were identified.
Psychosexual Development of Women with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
TLDR
Compared to the controls, the women with CAH recalled more cross-gender role behavior and less comfort with their sense of "femininity" during childhood, and the two groups did not differ in degree of gender dysphoria in adulthood, although the probands showed moreCross- gender role identification.
