1. BNST AVP cell ablations in iCre+ animals did not alter USVs
BNST AVP cell ablations in iCre+ animals did not alter USVs. Boxplot and individual data points of USV in presence of a male or female or their urine within the three-chamber apparatus.
BNST AVP cell ablations in iCre+ animals did not alter USVs. Boxplot and individual data points of USV in presence of a male or female or their urine within the three-chamber apparatus. A, B, iCre– (males: n = 13, females: n = 13) and iCre+ mice (males: n = 11, females: n = 8) did not differ by genotype in USV production. A, Male subjects: p = 1.0 (female stimulus), p = 0.33 (male stimulus). B, Female subjects: p = 0.18 (female stimulus), p = 0.16 (male stimulus). C, D, USV with either female urine or male urine present. iCre– and iCre+ subjects did not differ in USVs to female or male urine. C, Male subjects: p = 0.77 (female stimulus), p = 0.5 (male stimulus). D, Female subjects: p = 0.26 (female stimulus), p = 0.49 (male stimulus). E, USV emitted by male mice were gammatone-transformed (200-ms window) and divided into 10 categories of calls based on spectrographic parameters. F, Male USV syllable type (iCre– n = 6; iCre+ n = 7). BNST-AVP ablations did not change the percentage of USV syllable types produced between genotypes. Boxplot representations as in Figure 1.
