Interestingly, the behavioral output of Esr1⁺ VMHvl neurons in male mice depends on the level of neural activation. Strong stimulation reliably induces aggressive attacks, whereas lower levels of activation lead to mounting behavior toward both male and female conspecifics.

In mice, stimulation of estrogen receptor alpha–expressing (Esr1⁺) neurons in the ventrolateral subdivision of the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMHvl) elicits robust aggression and attack behavior in males, while in females, activation of the same neuronal population promotes.
