Abstract
⺠Testosterone regulates the spine density in a sublayer-specific manner in the CA1 area of the hippocampus. ⺠Gonadectomy induces a morphological change of the spine with a marked reduction of mushroom-type spines. ⺠Gonadectomy reduces the expression of BDNF and PSD-95 in the CA1 area. ⺠Testosterone regulates spine maturation through regulation of BDNF and PSD-95 in the CA1 area.
