Research suggests that 17α estradiol may have a positive effect on the brain, with one study indicating it promotes plasticity in the adult amblyopic visual cortex. Another study found that 17α estradiol has a protective effect against neuronal injury. The specific mechanisms and effects of 17α estradiol are being explored in different contexts, including its interaction with endolysosome localization of ERα.
