In this study, we investigated whether two brain regions, the bed nucleus of the stria
terminalis (BNST) and the basolateral amygdala (BLA), affected male rats'(Rattus …

Female‐emitted pheromonal inputs possess an intrinsic rewarding value for conspecific
males, promoting approach and investigation of the potential mating partner. In mice these …

The current study examined the effects of pheromonal exposure on adult neurogenesis and
revealed the role of the olfactory pathways on adult neurogenesis and behavior in the …

The immunocompetence handicap hypothesis (ICHH) posits that females prefer signals
emitted by immunocompetent males over immunocompromised males and that these …

The central 5-hydroxytryptamine system impairs sociosexual behaviors and olfaction
preferences in sexually naive mice. However, it remains unknown whether reproductive …

Rats are predators of mice in nature. Nevertheless, it is a common practice to house mice
and rats in a same room in some laboratories. In this study, we investigated the behavioral …

Most studies support the viewpoint that the vomeronasal organ has a profound effect on
conspecific odor recognition, scent marking and mating behavior in the golden hamster …

The main and accessory olfactory systems of mammals are involved in the detection of
predator odor; however, the relative importance assigned to each varies between studies …

Rats are predators of mice in nature. Nevertheless, it is a common practice to house mice
and rats in a same room in some laboratories. In this study, we investigated the behavioral …

Male sexual acts are highly rewarding action patterns, controlled by hard-wired brain
circuits, and activated in response to external sensory stimuli, without the need for previous …
