Onset of sexual maturation is the resultant of activation of the hypothalamo-pituitary gonadal development. 

Apart from the growth hormone secretions, steroid-dependent hormonal pathways that give rise to pubertal hormones such as estradiol and testosterone, aide in physical and behavioral changes.

- Neuropeptidergic fiber development 
- Neuropeptidal release and associated behavioral differences
- Pubertal Mechanism
- Sexual Behaviors
