The distribution of V1aR (blue) and OTR (red) binding in male rats. Overall, there is little overlap between the patterns of V1aR and OTR binding. The right column illustrates rat brain images adapted from The Rat Brain Atlas [137]. Dense V1aR binding was found in somatosensory cortex (SSc), piriform cortex (PC), Islands of Calleja (ICj), nucleus accumbens (NAc), lateral septum (LS), lateral posterior bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) (BNSTlp), nucleus of the lateral olfactory tract (LOT), dentate gyrus (DG), tuberal lateral hypothalamus (TuLH), anteroventral thalamus (AVthal), interstitial nucleus of the posterior limb of the anterior commissure (IPAC), arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ArcN), ventromedial thalamus (VMthal), and medial central amygdala (CeAm). Dense OTR binding was found in the dorsal caudate putamen (CPu), agranular insular cortex (AIP), posterior BNST (BNSTp), medial preoptic area (MOPA), ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), and later and capsular central amygdala (CeAl/c). Regions where sex differences were identified are underlined. Taken from Dumais and Veenema (2016) with permission.
