Female-biased sexual dimorphism of corticotropin-releasing factor neurons in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis

Abstract Background The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) contains the highest density of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)-producing neurons in the brain. CRF-immunoreactive neurons show a female-biased sexual dimorphism in the dorsolateral BNST in the rat. Since CRF neurons cannot be i...
