What is The Effects of Neonatal Castration on the Subsequent Behavioural Response to Centrally Administered Arginine Vasopressin and the Expression of V~1a~ Receptors in Adult Male Prairie Voles about?
## Abstract Centrally administered arginine vasopressin induces the formation of partner preferences in male prairie voles (__Microtus ochrogaster__). The expression of many vasopressin‐regulated behaviours is testosterone dependent. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that early exposure to gonadal steroids are necessary to establish the typical response of adult male prairie voles to exogenous vasopressin, predicting that adult males which were castrated neonatally would not form partner preferences in response to centrally administered vasopressin. We also examined the effect of neonatal castration on the expression of vasopressin (V~1a~) receptors. Voles were castrated on the day of birth (NEOCAST), sham‐castrated on the day of birth (NEOSHAM) or castrated as adults (ADULTCAST). With the exception of one group of neonatal sham males (NEOSHAM CON), which served as a control for the effects of vasopressin, as adults, all males received a 1‐μl intracerebroventricular injection of vasopressin (100 ng) in artificial cerebrospinal fluid. In addition, 2 weeks before testing, one group of neonatally castrated males received an implant of testosterone propionate (NEOCAST + TP). Betw
