The Testosterone-Derived Neurosteroid Androstanediol Is a Positive Allosteric Modulator of GABA(A) Receptors

Testosterone modulates seizure susceptibility, but the underlying mechanisms are obscure. Recently, we demonstrated that testosterone affects seizure activity via its conversion to neurosteroids in the brain. Androstanediol (5α-androstan-3α,17β-diol) is an endogenous neurosteroid synthesized from te...
