Question

When steroid hormones have organizational effects on behavior, those effects
A) occur early in life, usually just before or after birth.
B) tend to be transient.
C) usually involve subtle changes in previously established connections.
D) all of the above.

Accepted Answer

Steroid hormones have organizational effects on behavior primarily early in life, usually just before or after birth, setting the stage for how the brain will respond to hormones later in life. These effects are not transient but rather long-lasting, and they often involve the establishment of new neural connections rather than merely altering existing ones.
