Correlation between Arc and sexual behaviors. Correlations between the number of immunopositive cells and behavior, when all copulating males are combined independent of experience. Pearson’s r and associated p-values are reported. IL= intromission latency, NM = total number of mounts, IF = intromission frequency.
| Brain Area | Behavior | R | p |
|---|---|---|---|
| pvMeA | IL | 0.51 | 0.0134* |
| plBNST | NM | 0.73 | 0.0018** |
| pmBNST | NM | 0.81 | 0.0000*** |
| mPOAc | IF | −0.44 | 0.0385* |
| mPOAp | IL | 0.53 | 0.0087** |
Statistically significant correlations are labeled as follows:
p<0.05
p<0.01
p<0.001
