What was the outcome of artificially over-expressing the V1aR gene in the ventral pallium of male meadow voles?
What was the outcome of artificially over-expressing the V1aR gene in the ventral pallium of male meadow voles?
- Decreased number of Vasopressin 1A receptors on the post-synaptic membranes
- Had no effect on the number of Vasopressin 1A receptors on the post-synaptic membranes
- Altered the location of Vasopressin 1A receptors
- Increased number of Vasopressin 1A receptors on the post-synaptic membranes (correct)
What effect did the increased V1aR gene expression have on the vasopressin-responsive neurons?
What effect did the increased V1aR gene expression have on the vasopressin-responsive neurons?
- Reduced the effect of vasopressin released on the neurons
- Caused the neurons to become less responsive to vasopressin
- Had no impact on the vasopressin-responsive neurons
- Enhanced the effect of vasopressin released on the neurons (correct)
