Gonadal sex steroid hormones are well-studied modulators of reproductive physiology and behavior. Recent behavioral endocrinology research has focused on how the brain dynamically responds to - and may even produce - sex steroids, but the gonadal tissues that primarily release these hormones receive much less attention as a potential mediator of behavioral variation. This Commentary revisits mechanisms by which the reproductive hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis can be modulated specifically at the gonadal level.

PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNA) suppress selfish genetic elements and are essential for germ cell biology in animals. They also play critical roles in regeneration in planaria, regulate gene expression in adult mammalian testes, and participate in antiviral defense in mosquitoes. Inspired by a recent workshop on PIWI proteins and piRNAs, this commentary aims to summarize fundamental aspects of piRNA biology, highlight recent advances, and discuss key outstanding questions.
