Comment | Estradiol treatment initiated 5 months after OVX increased choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) protein levels in the PFC while the same treatment administered immediately following OVX did not, leading the authors to suggest that the period of hormone deprivation sensitized PFC cholinergic systems to the effects of estrogen (delay in prefrontal cortex sensitization). |

Comment | Estradiol has recently been shown to modulate glutamate transmission and AMPA receptor binding in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Estradiol modulation of AMPA receptors in the rodent PFC appears to selectively involve ERalpha, but not ERbeta, receptors. |

Comment | Estradiol and treatment with an ERalpha agonist decreased GluR2 mRNA levels in the rodent PFC, while treatment with an ERbeta agonist had no effect, and oddly neither did OVX. This estradiol modulation of AMPA receptor binding via the GluR2 subunit, which in turn modulates Ca2+ permeability, may be one mechanism by which estradiol exerts its neuroprotective effects. |

Comment | In one positron emission tomography (PET) study in elderly human subjects, subjects with high IGF-1 levels had shorter reaction times and showed increased regional signal in the left DLPFC during a working memory task. Thus, prefrontal cortex exposure to estrogen during puberty may be critical to the development of pathways used in executive functioning in later life. |
