No Evidence for Sex Differences in the Electrophysiological Properties and Excitatory Synaptic Input onto Nucleus Accumbens Shell Medium Spiny Neurons

ENEURO, 3(1).

By: J. Willett n, T. Will n, C. Hauser n, D. Dorris n, J. Cao n & J. Meitzen n 

author keywords: genetic sex; intrinsic electrophysiological properties; male and female rats; medium spiny neuron; mEPSC; striatum
MeSH headings : Action Potentials; Animals; Excitatory Postsynaptic Potentials; Female; Interneurons / physiology; Male; Membrane Potentials; Miniature Postsynaptic Potentials; Nucleus Accumbens / physiology; Rats; Rats, Sprague-Dawley; Sex Characteristics
TL;DR: Overall, it appears that sex differences in striatal function, including motivated behavior and reward, are likely mediated by other factors and striatal regions. (via Semantic Scholar)

2014 journal article

Intrinsic excitability varies by sex in prepubertal striatal medium spiny neurons

JOURNAL OF NEUROPHYSIOLOGY, 113(3), 720–729.

By: D. Dorris n, J. Cao n, J. Willett n, C. Hauser n & J. Meitzen n 

author keywords: intrinsic excitability; sex differences; medium spiny neuron; dorsal striatum; mEPSC
MeSH headings : Action Potentials; Animals; Corpus Striatum / cytology; Corpus Striatum / growth & development; Corpus Striatum / physiology; Female; Male; Neurons / physiology; Rats; Rats, Sprague-Dawley; Sex Factors
TL;DR: It is indicated that MSN excitability is increased in prepubertal females compared with males, providing a new mechanism that potentially contributes to generating sex differences in striatal-mediated processes. (via Semantic Scholar)
