“…First, suppressing male crowing by females may be an active inhibitory process within the ICo. GABA receptors (benzodiazepine binding sites) have been demonstrated in the quail's ICo [Canonaco et al, 1994] and the activation of these inhibitory networks could be reflected in Fos induction. Alternatively, the activation of ICo could be an indirect consequence of the POA stimulation.…”

“…A direct or indirect effect on Mel receptor density may be exerted by sexually dimorphic neurotransmitters and neuromodulators. Actually, physiological doses of GABA increase the number of IMel-binding sites (calculated as Bmax) in the TeO, ROT, and POA of quail independently of the photoperiod or the hormonal influence (Canonaco et al, 1994b). A sexually dimorphic distribution of GABA containing neurons and sex differences in the physiological responses to GABA agonists has been reported in the vocal pathway of songbirds (Ghrisam and Arnold, 1994;Sakaguchi, 1996;Wang et al, 1999).…”

“…The only other reported instances of sexual dimorphism in IMEL binding are in the song control system of birds and parts of the visual system and preoptic area in quail, which all displayed higher binding in males [Gahr and Kosar, 1996; Whitfield-Rucker and Cassone, 1996; Aste et al, 2001]. The reasons for these differences are unclear, but could potentially be the result of sexually dimorphic neurotransmitters, specifically GABA, which, when given at physiological doses, increases IMEL binding in several brain regions of the quail, including the preoptic area [Canonaco et al, 1994]. In addition, sexually dimorphic GABA-like immunoreactivity was found in the song control system of zebra finches [Grisham and Arnold, 1994].…”
