Abstract

The authors discuss a study which found that maternal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) impairs spatial ability and reduces attractiveness of male deer mice progeny. They offer information on the chemical BPA and its physiological effect. The impact of BPA on maternal behavior and hormones is discussed, as is BPA exposure during adolescence and adulthood and BPA's effect on sex differences. The authors contend that sex hormones play a vital role in reproductive and nonreproductive behavior.
