摘要：

Soma area was significantly larger in the anterior hypothalamus-preoptic area of male than female Cnemidophorus inornatus, and it was significantly larger in females than males in the ventromedial hypothalamus. These results parallel those on the volume of the brain areas in these animals, and therefore probably explain at least part of the dimorphisms seen in this usually reproducing species. Soma size in parthenogenetic C. uniparens also parallels volume.
