✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Female patients experience substantial neuroprotection after experimental stroke compared with male patients, a finding attributed to the protective effects of gonadal hormones. This study examined the response of male‐ and female‐derived organotypic hippocampal slices to oxidative and excitotoxic injury. Both oxygen and glucose deprivation and N‐methyl‐D‐aspartic acid exposure led to neuronal death; however, female‐derived cultures sustained less injury than male‐derived cultures. Cell death after oxygen and glucose deprivation was ameliorated in male cultures, but not female cultures, by the addition of 7‐nitroindazole, a neuronal nitric oxide synthase inhibitor. These studies have relevance to researchers investigating neuroprotective agents in mixed sex experiments. Ann Neurol 2005

Psychological research has now clearly demonstrated that there is a significant difference between men and women in their performance on certain spatial tasks. Evidence further suggests that this difference has a neurological basis. This hypothesis is well enough established to have inspired several
