Journal ArticleDOI
The induction by testosterone of aromatase activity in the preoptic area and activation of copulatory behavior.
TL;DR: The results suggest that, in male quail, the activity of the aromatase in the POA is a limiting factor in the activation of copulatory behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of diverse androgens on the sexual behavior and morphology of castrated male quail.
TL;DR: It is suggested that conversion of androgen to estrogen is necessary for the activation of copulation in the male quail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Copulatory behavior is controlled by the sexually dimorphic nucleus of the quail POA
Jacques Balthazart,C. Surlemont +1 more
TL;DR: The sexually dimorphic testosterone-sensitive POM is an excellent animal model to study the brain-steroid interactions which mediate the activation of male reproductive behavior and significantly decreased the volume of the nucleus.
Book ChapterDOI
Androgen metabolism in the brain: behavioural correlates.
John B. Hutchison,Th. Steimer +1 more
TL;DR: Steroid metabolizing enzymes in the male brain provide a degree of plasticity in the action of hormones on brain mechanisms of behavior, and this chapter discusses the pathways of androgen metabolism in the brain relevant to behavior.
Book ChapterDOI
Neuroendocrine Mechanisms Regulating Reproductive Cycles and Reproductive Behavior in Birds
TL;DR: The chapter ranges from a consideration of the neuroendocrine basis of seasonal reproduction to a description of the neural, and endocrine mechanisms that regulate male and female sexual behavior and parental behavior.

Journal ArticleDOI
Photoperiodic Control of the Cloacal Gland of the Japanese Quail
TL;DR: The cloacal protrusion may serve as a convenient external index of androgen, permitting repeated measurement without operation on or killing of the animal.

Nature of sex hormone effects on rat sex behavior: specificity of effects and individual patterns of response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoperiodic control of reproductive behavior and physiology of the male Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
TL;DR: The breeding condition of the males was never insensitive to long days, suggesting that adult male coturnix are nonphotorefractory, and TP-induced regression of the testes was reversible by withdrawing the hormone and shifting the males to long photoperiods.
Book ChapterDOI
Effects of estrogens on domestic fowl and applications in the poultry industry.
TL;DR: Estrogen administration depresses the testes by inhibiting pituitary gonadotropin production; the mature ovary is relatively more resistant to exogenous estrogens.
