Sexually dimorphic nuclei in the spinal cord control male sexual functions
Frontiers 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

Estrous behavior in dairy cows: identification of underlying mechanisms and gene functions [PDF]
, 2010 Selection in dairy cattle for a higher milk yield has coincided with declined fertility. One of the factors is reduced expression of estrous behavior. Changes in systems that regulate the estrous behavior could be manifested by altered gene expression ...

Effects of chronic tamoxifen treatment in female rat sexual behaviour
Heliyon, 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.

The Animal Sexes as Historical Explanatory Kinds [PDF]
, 2020 Though biologists identify individuals as ‘male’ or ‘female’ across a broad range of animal species, the particular traits exhibited by males and females can vary tremendously.

Daily Timed Sexual Interaction Induces Moderate Anticipatory Activity in Mice [PDF]
, 2010 Anticipation of resource availability is a vital skill yet it is poorly understood in terms of neuronal circuitry. Rodents display robust anticipatory activity in the several hours preceding timed daily access to food when access is limited to a short ...

Female sexual behavior in mice is controlled by kisspeptin neurons
Nature 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 ...

Depression-like behavioral phenotypes by social and social plus visual isolation in the adult female Macaca fascicularis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating psychiatric mood disorder that affects millions of individuals globally. Our understanding of the biological basis of MDD is poor, and current treatments are ineffective in a significant proportion of ...

Melatonin Receptors: A Key Mediator in Animal Reproduction
Veterinary Sciences, 2022 Melatonin, a hormone produced by the mammalian pineal gland, influences various physiological activities, many of which are related to animal reproduction, including neuroendocrine function, rhythm regulation, seasonal behavior, gonadogenesis, gamete ...
