Social influences on the arginine vasotocin system are independent of gonads in a sex-changing fish.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 15 May 2003

Semsar Katharine, Godwin John

Abstract excerpt

Many neuropeptide systems subserving sex-typical behavior are dependent on sex steroids for both their organization early in life and activation during maturity. The arginine vasopressin/vasotocin (AVP/AVT) system is strongly androgen dependent in many species and critically mediates responses to sociosexual stimuli. The bluehead wrasse is a teleost fish that exhibits a female-to-male sex change in response to...
