Oxytocin and vasopressin within the ventral and dorsal lateral septum modulate aggression in female rats

Aggression in females is understudied in model organisms. Here, the authors establish a model of enhanced aggression in virgin female rats and show that oxytocin and vasopressin systems differentially modulate aggression in distinct neuronal populations of the lateral septum of female rats.
