Table 2.

Results of simple regressions between the number of VIP-Fos co-labeled neurons and nesting behaviors (time in nest, pick-ups and deliveries).

Area Subjects Behavior r 2 P
Extended amygdala:
MeA, anterior all nesting pick-ups 0.33 0.03
all nesting deliveries 0.32 0.03

all nesting deliveries 0.46 <0.01
nesting females time in nest 0.56 0.05
POA-hypothalamus:
MPA (medial preoptic area) nesting males pick-ups 0.85 <0.01
