Neurons sensitive to gonadal steroids are located strategically within neural circuits that mediate behaviors broadly related to the reproductive process. Some neuronal events and properties are regulated by these hormones. Variability in the occurrence and distribution of particular neural hormonal sensitivities across species may be related to variations in the hormonal requirements for sexual differentiation and for activation of reproductive behaviors.
对性腺类固醇敏感的神经元战略性地位于神经回路中，这些神经回路介导与生殖过程广泛相关的行为。一些神经元活动和特性受这些激素调节。特定神经激素敏感性在物种间出现情况和分布的差异，可能与性别分化及生殖行为激活对激素需求的差异有关。
