This article reads too much like a summary of a medical journal. Anyone care to translate to English?Dudboi (talk) 12:59, 22 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

INAH3 or INAH1 analogue to SDN edit

Latest comment: 11 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In the article it states that "SDN and its homologues exist widely in human, mammal, and some other animal brains, including: the third interstitial nucleus of the anterior hypothalamus (INAH3) in humans"

In my textbook "Neuroscience - Exploring the brain (Enhanced 4th Edtion)" by Mark F. Bear et al. it states that: "In different studies INAH-1, INAH-2, and INAH-3 have all been reported to be larger in men than women. INAH-1 may be the human analogue of the rat SDN, but researchers disagree about whether INAH-1 is dimorphic. The clearest dimorphism appears to be in INAH-3, which was first reported to be twice as large in men as women by Laura Allen, Roger Gorski, and their colleagues at UCLA" (p.597)

If I understand correctly the article says that INAH3 is homologues but my textbook states that actually INAH1 is the homologues to the SDN even though it might not be dimorphic.

I'm just a student not an expert. I was wondering if I misunderstand something or if the article contradicts the textbook to a certain extend.

Maybe the article should clarify that INAH-1 is homologues even though INAH-3 is more dimorphic. LeanderLizzard (talk) 08:57, 29 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
