Abstract
Male mouse pups exhibit elevated preference for novelty relative to their sisters. The testes of pups secrete high levels of Müllerian inhibiting substance (MIS, anti-Müllerian hormone), with neurons being a target of this hormone. We report here that Mis(+/+) male pups exhibit novelty preference, but their Mis(-/-) brothers and Mis(+/+) sisters do not. This suggests that MIS is one of the determinants of "boy"-specific behavior.Entities:
