| abstractText | Estrogen influences striatal activity and the development of the nigrostriatal system. This study is concerned with the ontogenetic and postnatal expression of aromatase in the mouse striatum. Aromatase activity and mRNA expression were detectable in the embryonic striatum and increased postnatally with no differences between sexes. Aromatase-positive cells were uniformly distributed within the striatum. These data demonstrate that estrogen formation is an intrinsic property of striatal cells and suggest that estrogen may be important for striatal development and function.
