چکیده انگلیسی
The present study evaluated the effects of ibotenic acid lesions of the medial preoptic area (mPOA) on the display of partner preference in ovariectomized, estrogen- and progesterone-primed rats. Preference for a sexually vigorous male or an estrous female rat was determined in one of two conditions: unlimited physical access to the stimulus rats (Contact condition) or access that was limited to olfactory, auditory and visual cues (No-contact condition). Lesions of the mPOA reduced the male preference, social preference, and arena crossings, independent of test condition. However, the reduction in male preference following mPOA lesions was most pronounced during tests with unlimited physical access. These results suggest that the mPOA may be involved in integrating somatosensory signals from coital stimulation with the motor responses associated with the appetitive aspects of female sexual behavior.
