When the expression of the ER-alpha gene was blocked in white-throated sparrows, the level of aggression they exhibited decreased.
According to a new study, while brain regions that control sexual and aggressive behaviors in male and female mice are the same, the way they are wired is different.
Researchers explore the physical processes that occur as memories are formed.
Study identifies rare brain cell types that are unique to male mice, and others that are unique to females. The cells were discovered in the hypothalamus, a region of the brain that governs both aggression and mating behaviors.
Researchers have identified a number of genes that are repressed at specific points during and after memory formation.
