MeSH headings : Aggression / physiology; Animals; Aromatase / metabolism; Brain / anatomy & histology; Brain / metabolism; Brain Mapping; Dopamine / biosynthesis; Estrogens / biosynthesis; Female; Gonads / metabolism; Immunohistochemistry; Male; Neuroglia / metabolism; Neurons / metabolism; Perciformes / anatomy & histology; Perciformes / metabolism; Reproduction / physiology; Sex Differentiation / physiology; Sexual Behavior, Animal / physiology; Species Specificity; Tyrosine 3-Monooxygenase / metabolism; Vasotocin / metabolism
topics (OpenAlex): Reproductive biology and impacts on aquatic species; Reproductive System and Pregnancy; Genetic and Clinical Aspects of Sex Determination and Chromosomal Abnormalities
TL;DR:
The presence of aromatase in brain regions important in the regulation of sexual and aggressive behavior suggests that local estrogen synthesis could regulate sex change through effects on signaling systems that subserve reproductive behavior and function.
