Summary

Description
English: Hormones can have long-lasting, organizational effects when present during critical periods such as during the prenatal period or puberty. During these critical periods, hormones will alter the structure of the nervous system, setting up cells and circuits needed to display sex-typical behaviors later in life. Those sex-typical behaviors are then activated in adulthood by the presence of gonadal hormones.
