Pubertal neuroendocrine network characteristics and sex differences: A hair-based hormone network study

Key Points

• Hair-based assessments indicate distinct hormone patterns between sexes during puberty, and support different neuroendocrine responses.
• Sex differences in neuroendocrine networks can be highlighted by analyzing hair hormone levels, shedding light on development.
• The approach focuses on hair-based hormone analysis, evaluating the neuroendocrine network's role in puberty across sexes.
• This highlights the need for more research into how hormonal differences influence growth and behavior in adolescents.
