The differences in the levels of sex hormones may affect behavior at two major stages of development: prenatally (the time between conception and birth) and during and after puberty (adulthood). Endocrinologists refer to the effects that occur prenatally or very early in development as organizing effects because they cause a relatively permanent effect in the organization of some structure, whether in the reproductive organs or the nervous system. Hormone effects in adulthood are called activating effects because they activate or deactivate certain behaviors.
