▪ Abstract Mammalian reproduction depends on the coordinated expression of behavior with
precisely timed physiological events that are fundamentally different in males and females.
An improved understanding of the neuroanatomical relationships between sexually
dimorphic parts of the forebrain has contributed to a significant paradigm shift in how
functional neural systems are approached experimentally. This review focuses on the
organization of interconnected limbic-hypothalamic pathways that participate in the neural�…
