Abstract
⺠Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) labeling was examined in same- and mixed-sex finch pairs. ⺠TH in nucleus accumbens (Ac) was denser in members of mixed-sex pairs. ⺠TH density in mesolimbic and social brain areas related to affiliative behaviors. ⺠Behavior/TH correlations for Ac and ventral tegmental area were subregion specific. ⺠Affiliative behavior was similar in same- and mixed-sex zebra finch pairs.
