The volume of the posterodorsal medial amygdala (MePD) in BALB/c mice. A. ANOVA of sham-gonadectomized mice revealed that MePD volume is greater in males than in females and larger in the left hemisphere than the right (p < 0.01). Post-hoc repeated-measures t-tests revealed the asymmetry was statistically significant in females, but not in males (p > 0.4). B. Castration of males reduced MePD volume equally in both hemispheres (interaction p > 0.3), but bulbectomy (OBX) had no effect. C. Estradiol (E) treatment of ovariectomized (OvX) females marginally increased MePD volume, while OBX had no discernible effect on MePD volume.
