2016, Frontiers in NeuroendocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Unfortunately, these studies have been performed in males only. Given that V1aR KO male, but not female, mice show a decrease in anxiety-related behavior (Bielsky et al., 2004, 2005b), it would be of interest to study potential alterations in social recognition in female V1aR KO mice as well as in other social behaviors in both sexes. We recently showed a sex-specific role of the VP system in the regulation of social play behavior in juvenile rats.
