Effect of systemic blockade of α1-noradrenergic receptors on sex behavior and vaginal-cervical stimulation-induced Fos in female rats

►α1-noradrenergic transmission involved in VCS-dependent events ►VCS increases Fos-IR in MeaPD, mPOA and rVMH ►α1-noradrenergic antagonist, prazosin, inhibits VCS-dependent FOS-IR in MeaPD and mPOA
