Sexual Dimorphism of the Bed Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis and the Amygdala

摘要: The present review summarizes the up-to-date knowledge on sexual dimorphism of CNS with special regard to differentiation bed nucleus stria terminalis (BST) and amygdala in rat. authors provide new evidence for GABAergic, leucine-enkephalin-containing parvalbumin-immunoreactive neurons BST Together testing gender differences, age-related changes numbers neuronal subpopulations, mentioned above are followed. authors' results morphological immunocytochemical data that may be used further studies sexually dimorphic circuitry its functional significance.
