Female mice exhibit opposing social behaviors towards males, depending on their reproductive state: virgins display sexual receptivity (lordosis behavior), while lactating mothers attack. How a change in reproductive state produces a qualitative switch in behavioral response to the same conspecific stimulus is unknown. Using single-cell RNAseq, we identify two distinct subtypes of Estrogen receptor-1 (Esr1)-positive neurons in the ventrolateral subdivision of the female ventromedial hypothalamus (VMHvl), and demonstrate that they causally control sexual receptivity and aggressiveness in virgins and lactating mothers, respectively. Between- and within-subject bulk calcium recordings from each subtype reveal that the aggression-specific cells acquire an increased responsiveness to social cues during the transition from virginity to maternity, while the responsiveness of the mating-specific population appears unchanged. These results demonstrate that reproductive state-dependent changes in the relative activity of transcriptomically distinct neural subtypes can underlie categorical switches in behavior associated with physiological state changes. Internal states can profoundly alter innate behavioral responses to releasing stimuli. Liu et al. identify distinct neural subpopulations within a single hypothalamic nucleus (VMHvl) that causally control female mating vs. aggressive behaviors. Changes in the subpopulations’ relative cue sensitivity underlies a state-dependent switch in social behaviors.
