title: Sex differences in cell proliferation in the ventricular zone of young ring doves.
abstract: Cell proliferation in the ventricular zone was studied in 3-month-old ring doves, using [3H]-thymidine as the marker for DNA synthesis and hence cell division. We found sex differences in the rate of cell proliferation on the plane of preoptic area in these immature doves whose gonads were just undergoing changes.
