Table 1.

Fos expression in regions of the accessory and main olfactory pathways that did not show any significant activation after exposure to either dominant or subordinate male urine compared to water.

Number of Fos-ir cells MeA BNST-Post VMH-DM ACo-Ant
Interaural coordinates 2.74 mm 3.58 mm 2.46 mm 2.74 mm
Water 76.5 +/- 6.9 48.8 +/- 10.1 36.6 +/- 5.0 60.1 +/- 11.2
Dominant urine 80.6 +/- 9.4 64.3 +/- 6.2 37.2 +/- 5.3 72.8 +/- 4.4
Subordinate urine 82.2 +/- 8.1 57.3 +/- 6.0 31.3 +/- 5.3 59.1 +/- 13.1
Kruskall-Wallis test p=0.9175 p=0.5836 p=0.5568 p=0.7901

Anterior part of the Medial amygdala (MeA); Posterior part of Bed Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis (BNST-Post), Dorsomedial part of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH-DM), anterior cortical amygdaloid nucleus, ACo-Ant. Values are means ± SEM. Non parametric Kruskall-Wallis tests were used to determine statistical differences between groups. Number of animals per group: Water n=4; Dominant n=5; Subordinate n=4. Interaural coordinates: distance (in mm) in front of the interaural line (Paxinos and Franklin, 2001).
