The Role of the Medial Hypothalamus in Female Sexual Behavior

Publication . Husain, Basma Fatima Anwar; Q. Lima, Susana

Innate behaviours are often regulated by complex interwoven mechanisms that integrate the internal state of the animal and external stimuli that it encounters in the environment. Female sexual behaviour is a good example of such a behaviour, where the internal state of the female, defined by the phase of the reproductive cycle she is in, determines how external stimuli, such as cues she receives from a male attempting to copulate with her, are processed. While during the receptive phase of the reproductive cycle the female accepts a male’s attempts at copulation, during the non-receptive phase she rejects them.
