Control of Male Mouse Copulatory Behavior by Midbrain Dopamine Neurons

Silvana C Araujo, B. Lacoste, Luis Moreira, Oihane Horno, Eran Lottem, Joaquim Alves da Silva, Boris S Gutkin, Christian K. Machens, Susana Q. Lima

This study investigates how midbrain dopamine neurons control male mouse copulatory behavior, finding that their activity is experience-independent and critical for sustaining thrusting actions during mating.

A galanin-positive population of lumbar spinal cord neurons modulates sexual arousal and copulatory behavior

Constanze Lenschow, Ana Rita Mendes, Liliana Ferreira, B. Lacoste, Hugo Gravato Marques, Camille Quilgars, Sandrine S. Bertrand, Susana Q. Lima

This study identifies a galanin-positive spinal cord neuron population that modulates sexual arousal and copulatory behavior in mice by controlling bulbospongiosus muscle activity.
