Gonadal steroids exert a powerful regulatory influence upon the functioning of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons despite the apparent absence of gonadal steroid receptors in these cells. By using retrograde-tracing techniques combined with dual-labeling immunocytochemistry, we show here
