Immediate‐early genes (IEG) are powerful tools for identifying activated neurosecretory
neurones and extended circuits that affect neuroendocrine functions. The generally …

The sequential organization of sexual behavior of the female rat is described, eventually
leading to the lordotic posture, shown during mating. A complex set of signals: olfactory …

Using mice, we demonstrated that when oxygen supply is lowered, erythropoietin (Epo), the
main regulator of red blood cell production, modulates the ventilatory response by …

* This review is dedicated to Dr. Mary Erskine (1946–2007). Mary was a co-author on the
first edition of this review, but met an untimely death between publication of the first and …

During postnatal life, the respiratory control system undergoes intense development and is
highly responsive to stimuli emerging from the environment. In fact, interruption of breathing …

The stress experienced during rape seems to facilitate ovulation since the pregnancy rate in
raped women is higher than that resulting from consensual intercourse. Adrenal …

In female rats, vaginal‐cervical stimulation (VCS) received during mating induces
bicircadian prolactin surges that are required for the maintenance of pregnancy or …

We sought to examine AMPA receptor (AMPAR) function in the medial posterodorsal
amygdala (MePD), as glutamate neurotransmission is critical for the neural response to …

It is hypothesized that systemic α1-noradrenergic antagonists may interfere with the
transmission of sensory stimulation, particularly vaginal–-cervical stimulation (VCS), which is …

La conducta de lordosis (CL) en la rata es inducida por la acción secuencial entre el
estradiol (E2) y la progesterona (P) o bien por compuestos con diferente estructura química …
