... to underlie the manifestation of sexually dimorphic behaviors. Gamma-amino-butyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors expressed in the ventromedial nucleus (VMN) of the hypothalamus appear to be a key component underlying the expression of sexually dimorphic behaviors in rats. Specifically, GABA A receptor levels...

The birthdate of TH-IR neurons was sexually dimorphic with (a) generation of the majority of TH-IR neurons in the ZI in males preceding that in females, (b) generation of TH-IR...
