Abstract
Indirect routes by which gonadal hormones influence sexual differentia tion are considered. In rats, differentiation may depend on the way in which the mother responds to the hormonal condition of her pups, and this has implications for the interpretation of the data for humans. I nteraction between gonadal hormones and light experience in chicks is compared with the mammalian systems covered in Fitch & Denenberg's rev iew.
