The second reason has to do with how women's brains are formed. Women have more connections between neurons, but these connections are thinner. While having more connections might make women ...
Her lab at Rutgers in collaboration with Elizabeth Gould’s lab at Princeton, were the first to report that new neurons in the hippocampus are involved in processes of learning and memory. [4] She also conducted early research on sex differences in the brain and how they may contribute to the high incidence of depression, anxiety and PTSD in ...

Woolley went on to work with McEwen and Elizabeth Gould on a 1990 study that examined the brain using Golgi's method, [5] [6] [17] a technique first described by Camillo Golgi in 1873. [18] The study showed that estradiol increased the number and density of excitatory synapses of CA1 pyramidal cells in the rat hippocampus, as well as the ...
