摘要：

In mammals and birds, the sex of the brain has been attributed to the action of gonadal hormones. In males, testosterone from the testes acts early in life to make the brain masculine. Studies of songbirds and rodents suggest, however, that male and female brain cells are intrinsically different also because of the sex differences in the expression of sex chromosome genes within the cells.
