Fig. 7

a–d The PMv showed significantly higher density of OTR cells in males than females from P14. e–h In contrast, the AVPV near the medial preoptic nucleus showed significantly higher OTR cells in females than males at P56, but not before. The first column is to highlight anatomical regions of interest in an adult reference brain. The second and the third columns are zoomed-in pictures from P56 adult male and female OTR-Venus brains, respectively. Scale bar in b, c, f, g = 100 µm. The last column is number of OTR-Venus (+) cells in the anatomical regions over time (error bars = mean ± standard deviation). Blue dots for males and red dots for females. # Denotes statistically significant difference between males and females with false discovery rate <0.05 after multiple comparison correction.
