Cholecystokinin modulates mesolimbic dopaminergic influences on male rat copulatory behavior.
Much evidence suggests that the neuropeptide cholecystokinin (CCK) functions as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator in the central nervous system. The CCKa receptor subtype in the nucleus accumbens has been demonstrated to potentiate the behavioral and neurophysiological effects of dopamine. Since the mesolimbic dopamine system participates in the regulation of male rat sexual behavior, the pr...
متن کاملStria terminalis lesions alter the temporal pattern of copulatory behavior in the male golden hamster.
The mating behavior of a group of male golden hamsters was observed before and after bilateral electrolytic lesions or knife cuts interrupting the stria terminalis (ST). Whereas males with bilateral lesions of the medial nucleus of the amygdala had previously been observed to stop mating, a majority of hamsters with bilateral ST destruction, whether by electrolytic lesions or knife cuts, contin...
متن کاملInfluence of Cyperus esculentus tubers (Tiger Nut) on male rat copulatory behavior
BACKGROUND Cyperus esculentus tubers (tiger nut) are one of the ancient food sources known to humanity. It is traditionally used in the Middle East to stimulate sexual arousal in men. However, there has been no scientific evidence about its assumed aphrodisiac properties. This study aimed to investigate the influence of tiger nut on the copulatory behavior of sexually active male rats. METHOD...
متن کاملRegulation of male rat copulatory behavior by preoptic incertohypothalamic dopamine neurons.
The role of dopaminergic terminals in the medial preoptic area (MPO) in the regulation of male rat copulatory behavior was investigated. A 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) injection into the MPO of animals pretreated with desipramine resulted in a small (23%) depletion of DA, and no impairment of copulatory activity. Further depletion of catecholamines with alpha-methyl p-tyrosine (AMPT) produced sev...
