Testosterone and 17β-estradiol regulate hippocampal area CA3 sharp waves in male and female rats

Summary: Sharp wave-ripples (SPW-Rs) are critical to hippocampal function, and the same is true of gonadal steroids, but the interactions are unclear. We find that surgical removal of the gonads greatly reduces SPW rates in both sexes. Ripples are greatly reduced also. Testosterone treatment rescues...
