"Aromatase neurons in the brain convert testosterone into estradiol. In the amygdala, they work to coordinate social behavior in mice. We can watch the activity of these neurons using fluorescence and 2-photon microscopy. ”

Sex, Social Systems, and Science Fiction -
Alien sexual strategies?
- lekking and a city built around it
- the two sexes live apart snd only come together to mate
- male is eaten after fertilization
- male dies after sex frenzy.
