Highlights

  • Shaping male behaviours in fish

    Estrogens produced in the brain increase neural sensitivity to testicular androgens, and thus elicit male-typical behaviors, in the Japanese rice fish.

  • What is a Reviewed Preprint?

    Reviewed Preprints provide benefits to authors and to the wider scientific community.

    Inside eLife
We liked the idea of having an open 'conversation' with the reviewers during the process, and having the chance to polish the manuscript by following the editors and reviewers’ recommendations without the threat of rejection.
