Vasotocin Neurons and Septal V(1a)-like Receptors Potently Modulate Songbird Flocking and Responses to Novelty

Previous comparisons of territorial and gregarious finches (family Estrildidae) suggest the hypothesis that arginine vasotocin (VT) neurons in the medial bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BSTm) and V(1a)-like receptors in the lateral septum (LS) promote flocking behavior. Consistent with this hyp...
