Sex-specific processing of social cues in the medial amygdala
Open accessAbstract
Animal-animal recognition within, and across species, is essential for predator avoidance and social interactions. Despite its essential role in orchestrating responses to animal cues, basic principles of information processing by the vomeronasal system are still unknown. The medial amygdala (MeA) occupies a central position in the vomeronasal pathway, upstream of hypothalamic centers dedicated to defensive and social responses. We have characterized sensory responses in the mouse MeA and uncovered emergent properties that shed new light onto the transformation of vomeronasal information into sex- and species-specific responses. In particular, we show that the MeA displays a degree of stimulus selectivity and a striking sexually dimorphic sensory representation that are not observed in the upstream relay of the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB). Furthermore, our results demonstrate that the development of sexually dimorphic circuits in the MeA requires steroid signaling near the time of puberty to organize the functional representation of sensory stimuli.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.02743.001.

In the citing paper
“The MeA is a region responsible for processing social information in a sex-specific manner (Bergan et al., 2014; Lischinsky et al., 2017), and has long been implicated as necessary for the sex differences in social play.”
From Developmental origins of sex differences in the neural circuitry of play (2020) · cites this paper as Bergan et al., 2014
In the citing paper
“Electrical recordings in the MeApd of anesthetized mice have revealed sex-dependent differences in the neural responses to social cues (Bergan et al., 2014), while Fos induction following social interactions showed widely dispersed response patterns (Carvalho et al., 2015; Choi et al., 2005).”

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.
