Clitoral anesthesia disrupts paced copulation in the female rat
2014, Physiology and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :In natural and laboratory environments female rats control the rate of copulatory stimulation they receive from males by means of approach and avoidance behaviors, collectively known as “pacing” [1–3]. Pacing behavior increases the likelihood that mating stimulation will initiate luteal function thus enhancing the probability of pregnancy when the female is paired with a fertile male or pseudopregnancy if the male in infertile [4–18]. The ability of females to pace or control the initiation and rate of sexual stimulation also leads to a positive reward state that induces both conditioned place and partner preferences [9–13].
Lesions of the ventral premammillary nucleus disrupt the dynamic changes in Kiss1 and GnRH expression characteristic of the proestrus-estrus transition
2013, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :Nonetheless, we observed that progesterone levels were increased in females that showed lordosis compared to those that were non-receptive (120.7 ± 9.0 ng/mL vs. 35.0 ± 5.2 ng/mL in non-receptive; P < 0.0001). This pattern was observed in PMV-lesioned and PMV-non-lesioned rats indicating that components of sexual behavior – perhaps uterine cervical stimulation – are the primary stimulus responsible for the observed increase in progesterone secretion (Adler et al., 1970). The PMV densely projects to the AVPV, a site involved in the preovulatory LH surge (Canteras et al., 1992; Rondini et al., 2004; Hahn and Coen, 2006).

2000, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :It regulates neuroendocrine reflexes associated with luteinizing hormone release [47] and induces prolactin surges during the first days of pseudo-pregnancy or early pregnancy [14,21]. It is involved in sperm transport, and fertility [1,33] and pregnancy [2,15]. In addition, VCS attenuates neural and behavioral responses to noxious stimulation [13,26,40].
