Abstract

Synopsis. Three steroid-sensitive neural systems are reviewed to suggest where hormones act to modify neuroendocrine or behavioral functions: the system controlling the ovulatory surge of luteinizing hormone in laboratory rats, the system controlling male copulatory behavior in the rat, and the system controlling passerirte bird vocalizations. In each, ste? roids act at several levels, including the final common path. This generalization is discussed in light of some earlier conceptualizations of the levels of hormone action in behavioral systems.
