- Behavioral Similarities: Despite differences, both sexes show similar overall behavioral reactions to threats.
Implications for Health and Behavior
The revelation of these differences could have profound implications for understanding stress responses, mental health, and the treatment of anxiety-related disorders in both animals and humans.
