N1 - Male sexual differentiation of the brain occurs during the perinatal period and is dependent on testosterone (T), which is subsequently metabolized to estrogen (E) or dihydrotestosterone (DHT). E released from T results in the masculinization of the male brain by binding to hypothalamic estrogen receptor-a (ER-a).
