- •
Brain nonapeptides are implicated in the modulation of social behavior.
- •
We studied four species of fish, that differ in the expression of mutualistic behavior.
- •
We examined the quantitative distribution of brain AVT and IT.
- •
Higher AVT concentrations in the cerebellum relate to the expression of mutualistic behavior.
- •
Higher levels of brain IT seem to be linked to the development of sexual dimorphism.
