Cy. Ling et Mf. Cheng, SEX-DIFFERENCES IN CELL-PROLIFERATION IN THE VENTRICULAR ZONE OF YOUNG RING DOVES, Brain research bulletin, 37(6), 1995, pp. 657-662
Cell proliferation in the ventricular zone was studied in 3-month-old
ring doves, using [H-3]-thymidine as the marker for DNA synthesis and
hence cell division. We found sex differences in the rate of cell prol
iferation on the plane of preoptic area in these immature doves whose
gonads were just undergoing changes.
