Sexual imprinting, a learning process influencing mate choice, is observed across species. However, its neural mechanisms in complex networks like the mammalian brain are largely unexplored (Yamazaki et al. J., 1976; Asaba et al. , 2014.). We investigated how the mouse brain (C57BL/6 and wild house mice) represents imprinted and novel sensory signals, and whether the resulting functional networks display hub features. We captured neuronal activity using whole-brain immunolabeling for the immediate early gene cFos, iDISCO tissue clearing (Renier et al., 2014), and light-sheet fluorescence micro
