The involvement of tetratricopeptide repeat domain 9A (TTC9A) deficiency in anxiety-like responses and behavioral despair through estradiol action on the serotonergic system has been reported. Emerging evidence suggests that estradiol is a potent modulator of neuroplasticity. As estradiol and neuroplasticity
