“…For example, male fetuses have similar levels of aromatase (an enzyme that converts testosterone into estradiol within tissues) in the amygdala as adult males (Clark, MacLusky, & Goldman‐Rakic, 1988; Abdelgadir, Roselli, Choate, & Resko, 1997), although these levels were significantly higher than female fetuses (Roselli & Resko, 1986). Both pre‐ and post‐natally, the amygdala displays higher estradiol and testosterone levels than other neural areas, except for the hypothalamus, and these levels remain stable throughout further development (Sholl, Goy, & Kim, 1989; Sholl & Kim, 1989; Bonsall & Michael, 1992; Michael, Zumpe, & Bonsall, 1992; Abdelgadir et al, 1997).…”
