Learning Objectives
 
1) Understanding the sex determination, development, and physiology in social behavior
2) How do sexually dimorphic social behaviors emerge from sexually differentiated neural circuits - evidence from mice, fruit flies, and prairie voles
3) Identifying genetic and neural pathways that regulate sexually dimorphic social behaviors
