Abstract excerpt
In golden hamsters, there is a complete absence of the small diameter vasopressin (VP) neurons in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) and medial amygdala (Me) which have been shown to exhibit steroid dependency and sexual dimorphism in many other rodent species. In rats, VP in the BST/Me is always colocalized with the neuropeptide galanin (GAL) and the sex difference in VP cell number appears to result...
