Fig. 4.
Within-animal Pearson r correlations between F2 male behaviors and gene expression for select measures are shown separately for each EDC. Eigenvalues for behaviors that were altered by EDC exposure in F2 males were correlated with POA and VMN gene expression levels. Shown are: (a) POA Ar expression and female-elicited sex behaviors, (b) POA Esr1 expression and total USV call counts, and (c) VMN Esr1 expression and total USV call counts. Note the different y-axis scales between graphs. Those correlations that are significant at p < 0.05 are boxed and indicated by *. Pearson r correlation coefficients are provided for all graphs.
