... of defense usually trade-off with behaviors required for sexual reproduction like display of dominance and production of sexual pheromones. Here, we approach this trade-off through the lens of arginine vasopressin (AVP) neurons within the posterodorsal medial amygdala (MePD) of mice. This neuronal population...

... hormone Kisspeptin Medial amygdala Puberty is marked by the increase in hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion. GnRH neurons are present and active at birth but do not release GnRH until the onset of puberty. It is not known what stimulates the initial increase in GnRH...

.... We reported an effect of 10 µg estrogen for 14 days on the cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB) pathway, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor, in rat medial amygdala (MeA). To determine the effects of estrogen on neuronal numbers and brain region volume in MeA and central nucleus...

... or proestrus, and the subunit mRNA expression was determined using real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction with Taqman®. Results: Increased α1 mRNA expression was found in proestrus within both medial preoptic area (MPOA) and medial amygdala (MeA) in nulliparous and primiparous females...

... hypothalamic nucleus (VMH), but not in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST). The present study was designed to analyze whether the ARd changes in these and other brain areas, such as the medial amygdala (MeA) and lateral septum, ventral part (LSV), were associated with changes in sexual behavior...
