Illustration of Where VMHvl is Located in Mouse Brain, and What Brain Cells Control for Sex and Aggr (IMAGE)
Caption
Diagram of mouse brain (far left) and the ventrolateral part of the ventromedial hypothalamus, or VMHvl, which controls for aggression in both male -- and female -- mice. Middle image shows VMHvl cells in female brain, with cells active in mating (in blue) located around border, while those in the male brain (far right) are dispersed. Cells active in fighting (in red) are located more in the center of the female VMHvl, but not so in male mice.
