Sexually Dimorphic Control of Parenting Behavior by the Medial Amygdala (Cell)

Sexually dimorphic displays of parenting and infanticide are differentially controlled by GABAergic neurons in the medial amygdala in an activity level-dependent manner. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis reveals cell type-specific molecular sex differences in GABAergic neurons, highlighting a connection between sexual dimorphism at levels of molecules, cells, circuits, and behavior.
