- •
Egr-1 expression in the preoptic area of Astatotilapia burtoni males is greater after fighting than after courting.
- •
A greater proportion of AVT cells are positive for egr-1 mRNA after fighting than after courting.
- •
Frequency of courting behaviors correlated with circulating 11-ketotestosterone levels.
- •
We present the first report of v1a1 mRNA expression in the brain of a cichlid fish.
- •
Expression patterns of AVT V1a-subtype receptors v1a1 and v1a2 in the brain overlap.
