title: Estrogen in cognetive behaviors--clinical application of estrogen for dementia of Alzheimer type.
abstract: We may assume the presence of specific neuron elements in the region between the optic chiasma and the paraventricular nuclei, which are sensitive to estrogen and may be inhibited (or excited) by the estrogen level of the blood and in turn regulate (increase or decrease) the secretion of gonadotropin.
