Neuroprotective effects of estrogens and androgens in CNS inflammation and neurodegeneration
RD Spence, RR Voskuhl - Frontiers in neuroendocrinology, 2012 - Elsevier

Recovery of motor and cognitive function after cerebellar lesions in a songbird–role of estrogens
In addition to its key role in complex motor function, the cerebellum is increasingly recognized
to have a role in cognition. Songbirds are particularly good models for the investigation of …
