Electrophysiological Characterization of Sex-Dependent Hypnosis by an Endogenous Neuroactive Steroid Epipregnanolone
Neuroactive steroids (NAS) have long been recognized for their hypnotic and anesthetic properties in both clinical and preclinical settings. While sex differences in NAS sensitivity are acknowledged, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we examined sex-specific responses to an e...
