	Slide 25: Hippo. is important target of estrogen action, despite the fact that it contains relatively few estrophilic neurons (compared to hypothalamus and amygdala). Click for: AUDIO
	Slide 26: Women treated with GRH agonist had memory problems. Concurrent estrogen replacement reversed memory deficits. Click for: AUDIO
	Slide 27: CA-1 pyramidal neuronal morphology changes during estrus cycle in the rat. (i.e. increased # dendritic spines with increased estrogen) Click for: AUDIO
	Slide 28: Radioimmunocytochemistry technique can be used to study synapse formation. Click for: AUDIO
	Slide 29: Estrogen treatment induces increased a presynaptic marker protein. Click for: AUDIO
	Slide 30: Estrogen treatment increases spinophyllin levels.  May enhance maturation of spines, rather than induce new synapses. Click for: AUDIO
