Individual differences in estrogen receptor α in select brain nuclei are associated with individual differences in aggression
BC Trainor, KM Greiwe, RJ Nelson - Hormones and behavior, 2006 - Elsevier
Steroid hormones play an important role in modulating social behavior in many species.
Estrogens are thought to act on an interconnected network of hypothalamic and limbic brain
areas to affect aggressive behavior, although the specific nuclei unknown remain
unspecified. We show that individual variation in estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)
immunoreactivity in the lateral septum (LS), ventral bed nucleus of the stria terminalis
(vBNST), and anterior hypothalamus (AHA) of CD-1 mice is positively correlated with …
