One of the largest sex differences in brain neurochemistry is expression neuropeptide arginine vasopressin (AVP) within vertebrate brain, with males having more AVP cells bed nucleus stria terminalis (BNST) than females. Despite long-standing implication social and anxiety-like behaviors, circuitry underlying AVP’s control these behaviors still not well defined. Using optogenetic approaches, we show that inhibiting BNST reduces investigation males, but females, whereas stimulating increases...
