5 Questions
What was the outcome of artificially over-expressing the V1aR gene in the ventral pallium of male meadow voles?
Increased number of Vasopressin 1A receptors on the post-synaptic membranes
What effect did the increased V1aR gene expression have on the vasopressin-responsive neurons?
Enhanced the effect of vasopressin released on the neurons
What behavior did male meadow voles with V1aR Ventral Pallium over-expression exhibit that was non-species typical?
Strong huddling
How did the artificially induced V1aR gene over-expression affect pair bonding in adult male meadow voles?
Increased adult pair bonding
What region of the brain was targeted for over-expression of the V1aR gene in male meadow voles?
Ventral pallium
Learn about the study conducted by Lim et al in 2004 regarding the over-expression of the V1aR gene in meadow voles' brain region and its impact on vasopressin receptors. Understand how this genetic manipulation affected vasopressin responsiveness in non-monogamous voles.
