I was curious whether the role of the estrogen receptors is known notwithstanding AD. Are there references anyone could suggests that discuss what affects the estrogen receptor has on the functioning of neurons? Again, I appreciate your help. - Joe ************************************************************************* Joseph Devlin * email: jdevlin@pollux.usc.edu University of Southern California * Department of Computer science * "The axon doesn't think.

There are two FAQ sheets for the newsgroup system. FAQ I describes the general purpose and uses of the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. FAQ II provides details on how to participate in these forums. Both of these FAQs are available for anonymous FTP from net.bio.net [134.172.2.69] in pub/BIOSCI/biosci1.FAQ and pub/BIOSCI/biosci2.FAQ. They may also be requested by sending e-mail to biosci@net.bio.net (use plain English for your request). The FAQs are also posted on the first of each month to the newsgroup BIONEWS/bionet.announce immediately following the posting of the BIOSCI information sheet.
