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

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 ...

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.
