The paper identifies a neural pathway involving aVMHvlPR+ neurons projecting to the dmPAG that regulates female sexual rejection behavior during non-receptive phases.

The paper identifies distinct afferent inputs to anterior and posterior VMHvl subdomains and their progesterone receptor-expressing neurons, revealing circuit mechanisms underlying female sexual behavior regulation.

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.

The paper identifies a hypothalamic circuit in mice that controls cyclical female sexual rejection behavior through progesterone receptor-expressing neurons.

The paper introduces Myomatrix arrays, a high-resolution electrode technology for recording muscle activity from motor units across species during natural behaviors.

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

The paper examines how progesterone receptor expressing neurons in the VMHvl change structurally and electrophysiologically along the anterior-posterior axis and across the reproductive cycle.

This study investigates how predator fear is encoded in the ventromedial hypothalamus and periaqueductal grey using electrophysiological recordings in mice.
