Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Progesterone treatment impairs social recognition by acting on AVP. • We examined if AVP treatment would rescue progesterone impairment of social recognition. • AVP treatment rescued the impairment in social recognition caused by progesterone. • The data support a role for progesterone in modulating vasopressin-linked behavior in male brain.
