Estrogen mimics at low doses change how brain cells manage dopamine.

Synopsis by Michael D. Laiosa and Wendy Hessler
For the first time, scientists find that extremely low levels of some types of environmental estrogens disrupt specialized brain cells and their ability to regulate brain chemistry. All of the EEs tested changed the way cells released and reabsorbed dopamine, an important chemical messenger that governs movement and pleasure.
