Sexually dimorphic regions are described in two areas of the guinea pig brain: the medial preoptic area (MPOA) and the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST). The volume of a darkly staining portion of the MPOA is approximately 4-fold larger in male than in female guinea pigs, and the volume of a darkly staining portion of the BNST is approximately 36% larger in male than in female animals. The sex differences in both of these areas are present in animals that have been gonadectomized as adults as well as in intact animals, suggesting that they result from differences between the sexes in the hormonal environment during early development. Both the MPOA and the BNST bind high levels of gonadal steroids early in life, during the period when functional differentiation occurs. It is possible that dramatic morphological sex differences characterize such steroid-binding areas. Furthermore, these sexually dimorphic areas may form an anatomically and functionally interrelated system. Attention to these possibilities may help elucidate more precisely the neural basis for sexually dimorphic functions, as well as the basic mechanisms underlying sexual differentiation of behavior and the brain.
