These time stamps are from the same video, so you can start at the first one and he’ll just move right into the second one.
This is the study he refers to by Simon Levay (you might be able to get a copy through an open access site somewhere, I don’t know though): https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1887219
This is the study he refers to in regard to the stria terminalis is: https://www.nature.com/articles/378068a0
Here is the replication study for the stria terminalis: https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/85/5/2034/2660626
