Journal ArticleDOI
From motivation to action: functional interface between the limbic system and the motor system
TL;DR: It has been proposed that the nucleus accumbens is a key component of this neural interface since it receives inputs from limbic forebrain structures, either directly or indirectly via the ventral tegmental area of Tsai, and sends signals to the motor system via the globus pallidus.

Brain Mechanisms for Offense, Defense and Submission
TL;DR: In this article, a preliminary attempt is made to analyze the intraspecific aggressive behavior of mammals in terms of specific neural circuitry, and it is suggested that motivating stimuli activate pathways that converge upon sets of homogeneous neurons, called motivational mechanisms, whose activity determines the motivational state of the animal.

The lateral hypothalamic area revisited: Ingestive behavior
TL;DR: The LHA is discussed regarding dietary self-selection, responses to high-protein diets, amino acid imbalances, liquid and cafeteria diets, placentophagia, "stress eating," finickiness, diet texture, consistency and taste, aversion learning, olfaction and the effects of post-operative period manipulations by hormonal and other means.

Male Sexual Behavior
TL;DR: Major areas controlling sexual motivation and performance in males include the mesolimbic dopamine (DA) system, the medial preoptic area (MPOA), the amygdala, and the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST).
Journal ArticleDOI
Facilitation of male rat copulatory behavior by electrical stimulation of the medial preoptic area.
TL;DR: The most common change produced by MPO stimulation was a reduction in both the number of mounts and intromissions preceding ejaculation, and the degree of facilitation of ejaculation were positively correlated in MPO, but not in lateral preoptic animals.
