概括

雌性小鼠表现出较弱的赢家效应,这是由于dorsomedial前额叶皮质 (dmPFC) 中的神经差异造成的. 准dmPFC的帕瓦蛋白内神经元 (PV-INs) 可能会增强雌性体内的竞争行为.

科学领域:

神经科学是一个神经科学.
行为神经科学行为神经科学
比较心理学比较心理学

背景情况:

获胜者效应,即先前的成功提高了未来的表现,在男性中得到了很好的记录,但在女性中不太了解.
驱动赢家效应和社会支配的性别差异的神经机制在很大程度上是未知的.

研究的目的:

为了研究赢家效应中性别差异的神经基础.
为了确定这些行为差异背后的特定大脑电路和细胞机制.

主要方法:

在雄性和雌性小鼠中,对社会层次的形成和赢家效应的比较行为分析.
电生理学记录 (体外) 的突触可塑性,特别是长期潜能 (LTP),在背中介前额叶皮层 (dmPFC).
在体内和体外操纵dmPFC帕瓦胺内部神经元 (PV-IN) 活性.

主要成果:

雌性小鼠形成社会层次较慢,与雄性相比,表现出较弱的获胜者效应.
在女性中,在中脊柱 thalamus (MDT) -dmPFC 突触中观察到减少的 LTP.
女dmPFC PV-INs表现出高兴度,调节其活动以性别特定的方式改变了LTP和获胜者效应.

结论:

赢家效应中的性别差异是由dmPFC内的独特的神经机制调解的.
在女性中,dmPFC PV-INs的高兴度有助于较弱的获胜者效应.
针对dmPFC PV-IN提供了一个潜在的策略来调节竞争行为和弥合性别差异.

Mate Choice

Mate Choice

Mate choice—the decision about whom to mate with—is a type of natural selection, since animals must reproduce to pass down their genes. Mate choice is also called intersexual selection because the behavior occurs between the sexes.

The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes

The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes

In most organisms, sex is determined by the ratio of X and Y chromosomes. However, in some organisms, such as Drosophila and C.elegans, sex is determined by the ratio of the number of X chromosomes to the number of sets of autosomes. The Y chromosome in Drosophila is active but does not determine sex. It contains genes responsible for the production of sperms in adult flies.
Normal male Drosophila has a ratio of one X chromosome to two sets of autosomes. In contrast, normal female...

Dosage Compensation

In animals, gender is determined by the number and type of sex chromosome. For example, human females have two X chromosomes, and males have one X and one Y chromosome, whereas C.elegans with one X chromosome is a male, and the one with two X chromosomes is a hermaphrodite.
In addition to sexual development, the X chromosome has genes involved in autosomal functions such as brain development and the immune system. Therefore, males and females with distinct numbers of X chromosomes will...
