Editorial - New perspectives for the action of steroids in the brain

Abstract

The present Special Issue is a collection of some of the lectures presented at the 9th International Meeting on Steroids and the Nervous System, held in February 2017. These reviews provide an update on the state of the art of recent discoveries in three main fields of current research on the role of neuroactive steroids in the brain, with special emphasis on brain development and sexual differentiation, the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the action of neuroactive steroids, and clinical implications for the understanding of brain disease and for the potential therapeutic use of these molecules or their analogues.
