Oxytocin in the medial preoptic area facilitates male sexual behavior in the rat.
Oxytocin (OT) is a versatile neuropeptide that is involved in a variety of mammalian behaviors, and its role in reproductive function and behavior has been well established. The majority of pharmacological studies of the effects of OT on male sexual behavior have focused on the paraventricular nucleus (PVN), ventral tegmental area (VTA), hippocampus, and amygdala. Less attention has been given ...
متن کاملRegulation of hypothalamic neuropeptide Y messenger ribonucleic acid expression during lactation: role of prolactin.
In the present study, we investigated the role of prolactin (PRL) in the suckling-induced increase in hypothalamic neuropeptide Y (NPY) gene expression in the dorsomedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (DMH) and the caudal portion of the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARH-C). Lactating rats were deprived of their eight-pup litters on d 9 postpartum. After 48 h, the animals were randomly divi...

متن کاملGalanin neurons in the medial preoptic area govern parental behaviour
Mice display robust, stereotyped behaviours towards pups: virgin males typically attack pups, whereas virgin females and sexually experiencedmales and females display parental care. Here we show that virginmales genetically impaired in vomeronasal sensing do not attack pups and are parental. Furthermore, we uncover a subset of galanin-expressing neurons in the medial preoptic area (MPOA) that a...
متن کاملMedial preoptic area dopaminergic responses to female pheromones develop during puberty in the male Syrian hamster.
Chemosensory cues from receptive females do not elicit similar reactions before and after puberty in male hamsters. While pheromones facilitate a complex display of reproductive behavior in adults, prepubertal males do not engage in these same behaviors. Dopamine (DA) released from the medial preoptic area (MPOA) in response to a receptive female or her odors is an important component of the ne...
