II. Slow Oscillations in Vaginal Blood Flow: Regulation of Vaginal Blood Flow Patterns in Rat by Central and Autonomic Mechanisms

These data indicated that slow oscillations in vaginal blood flow from rodents may be utilized as an animal model of female sexual arousal. Changes in these oscillations are driven by the central nervous system and modulated by the autonomic nervous system.
