In the future, we plan to continue to use viral tract tracing to completely define the neural network underlying vaginal marking. First, we plan to co-localize PRY-... 

Although chemically-naive female hamsters prefer to investigate volatile male odors, early contact experience with male odors is required for the differential expression of vaginal marking in response to male and female volatile odors. Whereas control females vaginal mark more to male odors than to female odors, chemically naive females mark equally to the volatile components of these two odor sources. This lack of differential marking by naive females is primarily due...

The results, however, did not confirm this prediction. Instead, they suggested that both the fresh and the older vaginal secretion scent marks were remembered equally well. Males tested with the 30-second secretions spent more time investigating the novel scent, and males tested with the 24-hr secretions also investigated the novel scent more (Figure 1). These results indicate that the subjects remembered the vaginal marks of both individu-...
