Complementary regulation of memory flexibility and stabilization by dentate gyrus granule cells and mossy cells Accurate memory formation requires hippocampal spatial representations to balance stability, for later recall, with flexibility, to incorporate new information.

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

I am excited to share pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40632653/. It shows that hormones regulate hippocampal sharp-wave ripples (SPW-Rs). 1) Removing gonads decreases SPW-Rs. Hormone replacement led to recovery. 2) SPW-Rs show sex differences. And there is more! Huge thanks to all authors!
