To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gonadotropin levels are regulated by interactions involving the hypothalamus, pituitary, and gonads. Thus sex change is most likely an example of a sexually dimorphic neuroendocrine feedback loop controlling the secretion of gonadotropins. Exogenous factors have been shown to influence the development of structural dimorphisms. In Davis and Femald's studies (1990) on the African chichlid fish, Haplochromis burtoni, maturation of males is strongly influenced by the growth of gonadotropin releasi...ng hormone releasing (GnRH-ir) preoptic neurons. Further the growth of the neurons is partially determined by the social environment; no neuronal growth took place when fish were housed in an environment that encourages aggression. This inhibition of neuronal growth appeared to stunt sexual maturation. Growth of neurons and sexual maturation 30 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE PSYCHOLOGY occurred only when these fish were housed with other fish their age, as opposed to older fish, a presumably less aggressive environment.
