Evaluation of Sexual Behavior in Laboratory vs Seminatural Conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Sexual behavior is, by necessity, sexually dimorphic. Males transfer sperm to females, whereas females receive sperm from males. Discussions of sex differences in copulatory behavior are consequently trivial.

The endogenous cannabinoid system modulates male sexual behavior expression

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays a key neuromodulatory role in the brain. Main features of endocannabinoids (eCBs) are that they are produced on demand, in response to enhanced neuronal activity, act as retrograde messengers, and participate in the

Sexual health and the pandemic crisis: testing the role of psychological vulnerability/protective factors on sexual functioning and sexual distress during a critical life period in Portugal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Recent findings suggest that the current COVID-19 pandemic has a potential negative impact in several areas of life, including sexual health. However, less is known about the psychological dimensions that may work as vulnerability/protective factors for ...

Phenotyping the males of mouse and rat strains with genetically defined behavioral disturbances in a model of sexual activation

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2015
Sexual behavior is one of the biologically highly relevant types of behavior. Sexual arousal, or an initial stage of sexual behavior, is of particular interest since it triggers all the following events but still remains the least known element of this ...

Being friendly: paced mating for the study of physiological, behavioral, and neuroplastic changes induced by sexual behavior in females

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023
Paced mating in rats is an experimental condition that allows the evaluation of sexual behavior in a way that closely resembles what occurs in seminatural and natural conditions enabling the female to control the rate of the sexual interaction.

Sexually dimorphic nuclei in the spinal cord control male sexual functions

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2014
Lower spinal cord injuries frequently cause sexual dysfunction in men, including erectile dysfunction and an ejaculation disorder. This indicates that the important neural centers for male sexual function are located within the lower spinal cord. It is

Behavioral evidence of the functional interaction between the main and accessory olfactory system suggests a large olfactory system with a high plastic capability

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2023
Olfaction is fundamental in many species of mammals. In rodents, the integrity of this system is required for the expression of parental and sexual behavior, mate recognition, identification of predators, and finding food.

A Prospective Study of Young Females’ Sexual Subjectivity: Associations with Age, Sexual Behavior, and Dating [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Sexual self-perceptions are important aspectsof sexuality, which can undergo significant change during adolescence and early adulthood. The purpose of this study was to describe these changes among girls (N=251; ages 16-25) over one year, and to examine

Female sexual behavior in mice is controlled by kisspeptin neurons

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Mate preference and copulatory behavior in female rodents are coordinated with the ovulation cycles of the animal. This study shows that hypothalamic kisspeptin neurons control both mate choice and copulation, and therefore, that sexual behavior and ...

Effects of chronic tamoxifen treatment in female rat sexual behaviour

open access: yesHeliyon, 2022
The medial preoptic (MPN) and the ventromedial hypothalamic nuclei (VMN) modulate the estrogen receptor (ER)-dependent female sexual behavior, a response that is inhibited by tamoxifen (TAM), a modulator of the steroid receptor activation.
