Hormonal and chemosensory signals regulate social behaviors in a wide variety of
mammals. In the male Syrian hamster, these signals are integrated in nuclei of the medial …

Research to date into the amygdala shows that it has an integrative role in behavioural,
vegetative and endocrine activities of animals in their relation with their environment. Animal …

The medial nucleus of the amygdala (MeA), a sexually dimorphic area, contains estrogen
and androgen receptors and has an integrative role in behavioral, vegetative and endocrine …

BACKGROUND: The amygdala is a limbic structure involved in the stress response and the
regulation of emotional behaviors, both of which are disrupted in patients with …

In the male Syrian hamster, mating is dependent on chemosensory and hormonal stimuli,
and interruption of either input prevents copulation. The medial amygdaloid nucleus (Me) is …

Male sexual behavior comprises a complex pattern of genital and somatomotor responses,
elicited, directed, and maintained by external and internal signals. It includes copulation as …

Males and females of most mammalian species depend on chemosignals to find, attract and
evaluate mates and, in most cases, these appetitive sexual behaviors are strongly …

The posterodorsal medial amygdala (MePD) is a sex steroid-responsive area in the rat
brain. The dendritic spine density of Golgi-impregnated MePD neurons were studied in:(1) …

Mating behavior in the male hamster is dependent upon both chemosensory and hormonal
cues, and copulation is abolished if either signal is interrupted. Through reciprocal …

Mating behaviour in the male hamster requires chemosensory and hormonal cues, and
copulation is abolished if either signal is interrupted. In addition, the integration of …
