Abstract

Vasotocin (VT) and vasopressin control many endocrine and neuroendocrine functions, including the regulation of reproductive behaviors. In the roughskin newt (Taricha granulosa), VT administration can enhance courtship behaviors in males and egg-laying behaviors in females. This study used immunohistochemistry to investigate whether there are sex differences in VT in specific brain areas, and whether these differences persist in nonbreeding animals. Numbers of VT immunoreactive (ir) cell bodies were counted in males and females collected in February, April, June, and August. Radioimmunoassay of plasma samples confirmed that testosterone and 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone concentrations were higher in males than females, and that 17beta-estradiol concentrations were higher in females than males. In 11 brain areas, no sexual or seasonal differences in the number of VTir cells were found. But in 3 brain regions-the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST), the nucleus amygdalae dorsolateralis (AMYG), and the anterior preoptic area (aPOA)-there were significantly greater numbers of VTir cells in males than in females, and these differences did not change seasonally. In the aPOA, an area important to male sex behaviors, the sexual dimorphism in VTir was particularly pronounced. In four brain regions, there were significantly greater numbers of VTir cells in females than males, but only in specific seasons. In April-collected (breeding) animals, more VTir cells were found in females…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
