| الوصف: | Social animal species present a vast repertoire of social interactions when encountering conspecifics. Reproduction-related behaviors, such as mating, parental care, and aggression, are some of the most rewarding types of social interactions and are also the most sexually dimorphic ones. This review focuses on rodent species and summarizes recent advances in neuroscience research that link sexually dimorphic reproductive behaviors to sexual dimorphism in their underlying neuronal circuits. Specifically, we present a few possible mechanisms governing sexually-dimorphic behaviors, by hypothalamic and reward-related brain regions. Sex differences in the neural response to social isolation in adulthood are also discussed, as well as future directions for comparative studies with naturally solitary species. Highlights • Responses to social stimuli, reward, and isolation are sexually dimorphic. • Multiple sexually dimorphic social networks are orchestrating sex-typical behaviors. • Behavioral and neural responses to social isolation are usually higher in females. • Studies on diverse species, including solitary and eusocial ones, are necessary. |
