The neuronal activation of the AOB of males. The neuronal activation of the AOB of males of M. spicilegus (A) and males of M. m. wagneri (B), fostered by con- and heterospecific females (sp - M. spicilegus, w - M. m. wagneri, mus - M. m. musculus), in response to the odor of urine of estrus females. As a criterion for estimating the response of neurons to the odor stimulus, the intensity of accumulation of manganese ions was used, which is proportional to the level of the MRI signal in this region. A, B, C - significant differences in the LSD test (p < 0.05)
