Article Synopsis
- Early exposure to androgens (male hormones) significantly influences differences in play behavior between genders and is highlighted in mammal studies, establishing a link to neurobehavioral sexual differentiation.
- In humans, females with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) experience high prenatal androgen levels, leading to distinct play behaviors compared to control females, while males with CAH show no significant behavioral differences compared to control males.
- The study’s findings underscore the role of prenatal androgen exposure in shaping behaviors, suggesting important implications for understanding sex-related behaviors, brain development, and issues of gender nonconformity.
