“But the amygdala is also involved in endocrine regulation and the regulation of stress responses, right?” Andreano explained to me. “So you’re not just going to be having this change in behavior or memory. You’re also going to have changes in the way that your body hormonally reacts to stress. And the stress hormone and sex hormone systems are very intimately connected. You do something to one, you’re going to influence the other. We perturb sex hormones, we perturb stress hormones, which then further perturbs sex hormones, and so on.”
