phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• with the second intruder in a resident-intruder assay, male mice fail to exhibit an increase in aggression toward castrated mice swabbed in intact male urine or a Vmn2r53-activating urine fraction unlike wild-type mice
• however, mice exhibit normal aggression toward the first intruder
• in a resident-intruder assay, male mice exhibit lower numbers of attacks and total duration of attacks compared with wild-type mice
• male mice attack less urine-swabbed castrated male intruders compared with wild-type mice
• however, mice exhibit normal percentage of attacking male mice and sex discrimination

N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• mice injected with an adenovirus expressing a cre-dependent GCaMP6s exhibit no response to a first or second intruder swabbed with the Vmn2r53-activating urine fraction unlike wild-type mice
• however, mice exhibit a normal response to female and castrated male urine or mice, and injection of clozapine N-oxide (selective agonist of hM4D(Gi)) restores aggressiveness
