The blockage of androgen receptors during a male organism's development can change the characteristics of neurons. More specifically, treating neurons in the spinal cord with Flutamide, an anti-androgen in male subjects de-masculinizes their neurons (Grisham et al.) This study examines the effects of an anti-androgen on a second motorneuron pool present in the retrodorsal lateral nucleus and the role it plays in an organism's sexual development.
