“…Similarly, prepubertal gonadectomy results in a reduction in adult male-male aggressive behavior and flank-marking, the deposition of flank gland secretions used to maintain dominant/subordinate status [10,11]. Other studies provide evidence for organizational effects of testicular hormones during puberty on territorial scent marking in male tree shrews [12], aggression in male mice and gerbils [13,14], play fighting in male rats [15], and social interactions in a novel environment in male rats [16,17]. Thus, the absence of testicular hormones during adolescence results in long-lasting impairments in of sociosexual behaviors, and conversely the presence of testicular hormones during adolescence masculinizes neural circuits underlying sociosexual behaviors and programs enhanced activational responses to testosterone in adulthood.…”

“…The birds were around nine weeks of age when they were implanted with T or control implants -much older than other avian studies that have found an organisational effect of exogenous T (Strasser and Schwabl, 2004;Eising et al, 2006), although there is evidence in mammals that T can have organisational effects during the juvenile stage of development (Abitbol et al, 1999;Eichmann and Holst, 1999;Sisk and Zehr, 2005). Our present study shows that even at such a relatively old age birds can also still be receptive to organisation by T. The implants themselves could not have caused the differences observed in T between the T groups in the spring, as they had dissolved by November of the previous year, at least five months before the spring immune tests were undertaken (18 of April, 11 of May).…”

“…Two other examples of behaviours that are organized during adolescence are territorial scent marking in tree shrews [57] and social interaction in novel environments in rats [58,59]. In both cases, the absence of gonadal hormones or the pharmacological blockade of their action during puberty suppressed the typical expression of the behaviour in adult animals, even if the hormones were replaced in adulthood.…”
