Journal ArticleDOI
Dopamine and sexual behavior.
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that dopamine through its different neuronal systems and receptor subtypes plays different roles in the control of several aspects of sexual behavior, supporting a facilitatory role of dopamine in male sexual behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for dopamine receptors mediating sedation in the mouse brain.
TL;DR: PomorPHINE and L-dopa have a biphasic action on behaviour; in low doses they decrease motor activity, while in higher doses they cause hyper-motility and sterotypy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Central functions of oxytocin
TL;DR: Evidence that oxytocin plays an important role in the expression of central functions, such as maternal behavior, sexual behavior, yawning, memory and learning, tolerance and dependence mechanisms, feeding, grooming, cardiovascular regulation and thermoregulation is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress-induced increase in 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) levels in the cerebral cortex and in n. accumbens: reversal by diazepam.
TL;DR: Pretreatment with diazepam, but not with pentobarbital, prevented stress-induced increased in DOPAC levels, and DA content did not change after stress in any of the structures analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Apomorphine-induced penile erection and yawning: site of action in brain.
TL;DR: The present results suggest that the PVN is the brain area where D2 DA agonists act to induce penile erection and yawning in rats, and for the first time a possible involvement of the incerto-hypothalamic DA system in the expression of penile erections and yawns is suggested.
