Abstract excerpt
Male rats possess twice as many cells that express arginine-vasopressin (AVP) in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) and centromedial amygdala (CMA) as do females. This sex difference may arise from sex differences in the induction of AVP expression in galanin (GAL)-expressing cells, which themselves do not differ in number between males and females. To test whether AVP expression could arise from a...
