Figure 6: AB neurons play an essential role in male aggression.

Figure 6:

(A-C) Behavior of resident male expressing DREADDi in AB neurons with WT male intruder.

(B) CNO reduced percent residents attacking.

(C) CNO reduced attacks per assay.

(D-F) Behavior of resident males with caspase-3 targeted to AB neurons with WT male intruders.

(E) Ablation of AB neurons reduced percent residents attacking.

(F) Ablation of AB neurons reduced attacks per assay.

(G-I) Behavior of mothers expressing DREADDi in AB neurons with male intruder.

(H,I) Behavior of mothers given CNO or saline is comparable.

(J-L) Behavior of mothers with caspase-3 targeted to AB neurons with male intruder.

(K,L) Behavior of both groups of mothers is comparable.

Mean ± SEM. n = 14 (A-C), 8 (D-F, each genotype), 13 (G-I), 7 (J-L, each genotype). *p<0.05, **p<0.01. See also Figure S6, Table S1.
