In all species, sexual behavior is directed by a complex interplay between steroid hormone actions in the brain that give rise to arousability and experience with reward gives expectations of competent activity, including arousal, desire, performance. Sexual allows animals form instrumental Pavlovian associations predict outcome thereby directs strength responding. Although study animal neuroendocrinologists has traditionally been concerned mechanisms copulatory responding, more recent use...
Paced copulation induces conditioned place preference in female rats. The authors examined whether associating almond-scented males with paced partner preference. paired group received 4 copulations and nonpaced unscented sequentially at 4-day intervals. unpaired the opposite order of association, whereas randomly random associations. A 4th a single pairing. On final test, females were placed into an open field 2 males, 1 scented unscented. Females solicited male more frequently, most chose...
Because of its primary role in drug-seeking, consumption and addictive behaviour, there is a growing interest identifying the neural circuits molecular mechanisms underlying formation, maintenance retrieval drug-related memories. Human studies, which focused on neuronal systems that store control drug-conditioned memories, have found cerebellar activations during drug-associated cue memory. However, at pre-clinical level, almost no attention has been paid to possible cerebellum In present...
The effects of the opioid antagonist naloxone were examined on development conditioned partner preference induced by paced copulation in female rats. In Experiment 1, ovariectomized, hormone-primed rats to associate scented and unscented male with nonpaced copulation, respectively. Female 2 associated albino or pigmented copulation. Naloxone saline was administered before each conditioning trial. During a final drug-free test, could choose copulate either pacing related unrelated male....
BackgroundAlthough humans experience orgasms with a degree of statistical regularity, they remain among the most enigmatic sexual responses; difficult to define and even more study empirically. The question whether animals is hampered by similar lack definition additional necessity making inferences from behavioral responses.MethodHere we three criteria, based on dimensions subjective human described Mah Binik, infer orgasm-like responses (OLRs) in other species: 1) physiological criteria...
BackgroundThe effect of orgasm on the development and shaping partner preferences may involve a catalysis neurochemical mechanisms bonding. Therefore, understanding such process is relevant for neuroscience psychology.MethodsA systematic review was carried out using terms Orgasm, Sexual Reward, Partner Preference, Pair Bonding, Brain, Learning, Sex, Copulation.ResultsIn humans, concentrations arousing neurotransmitters potential bonding increase during in cerebrospinal fluid bloodstream....
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure used to treat various neurological pathologies, being its greatest use in movement disorders. The FDA first approved deep 1997 essential tremor, 2002 it was for Parkinson's disease, 2003 dystonia and 2009 obsessive compulsive disorder. However, until recently this technique began be implemented the treatment of other diseases. To conduct research on different diseases where articles were chosen from Pubmed, Google Scholar, Redalyc Scielo...
The etiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been linked to both genetic and epigenetic factors. Among the factors, exposure valproic acid (VPA), an antiepileptic mood-modulating drug, shown induce characteristic traits ASD when exposed during embryogenesis. Conversely, in animal models, enriched environment (EE) demonstrated positive behavioral neural effects, suggesting its potential as a complementary treatment pharmacological approaches central nervous system disorders. In this...
The cerebellar response has been studied for years with different models of alteration other brain structures to understand its complex functioning and relationship the rest body. Studies in patients Parkinson's disease (PD) showed that function is modified by deficit basal ganglia; which supports hypothesis both are related anatomically functionally. In our study, ventrolateral striatum (VLS) ganglia was altered an electrolytic lesion, order produce a similar jaw frequency tremor movements...
