The activational and organizational hormone effects as originally defined do not conflict with activational influences on brain structure. Ovarian hormonal influences on the rodent corpus callosum could be activational rather than organizational. The masculinization/feminization distinction in brain structure and the timing of sex differences in visuo-spatial abilities need to be clarified.
