Cannabinoid receptor 1 contributes to sprouted innervation in endometrial ectopic growth through mitogen-activated protein kinase activation
doi:10.1016/j.brainres.2017.03.016 ·PMID:28322749

The endocannabinoid system regulates neurite outgrowth and neurogenesis during development of the central nervous system. Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) is expressed in neurons, including the somata and fibers, that innervate the endometrial…

Oophorectomy, menopause, estrogen treatment, and cognitive aging: clinical evidence for a window of opportunity.
doi:10.1016/j.brainres.2010.10.031 ·PMID:20965156

The neuroprotective effects of estrogen have been demonstrated consistently in cellular and animal studies but the evidence in women remains conflicted. We explored the window of opportunity hypothesis in relation to cognitive aging and dem…

Effects of surgical induction of endometriosis on response properties of preoptic area neurons in rats
doi:10.1016/j.brainres.2008.10.004 ·PMID:18955036

Subfertility and severe pelvic pains are symptoms associated with endometriosis (ENDO), a common condition among women that is characterized by the growth of the uterine endometrium on the surface of organs within the pelvic region and abdo…
