Electric stimuli applied to both pudendal nerves evoked field potentials, unit responses, and multiunit responses in the ventrolateral midbrain, in and around the peripeduncular nucleus. Bilateral lesions placed in this region suppressed sexual behavioral responses (lordosis and courting behavior) of ovariectomized rats primed with 5, 10, 100, and 1,000 microgram of estradiol benzoate and 2 mg of progesterone per kilogram of body weight. It is proposed that the region in question represents a relay station for the integration of sensory and endocrine information concerned in the control of receptive sexual behavior in the female rat.
对双侧阴部神经施加电刺激，可在腹外侧中脑、脚周核及其周围诱发场电位、单位反应和多单位反应。在此区域进行双侧损伤，可抑制经每千克体重注射5、10、100和1000微克苯甲酸雌二醇以及2毫克孕酮预处理的去卵巢大鼠的性行为反应（脊柱前凸和求偶行为）。有人提出，上述区域是整合与雌性大鼠接受性性行为控制相关的感觉和内分泌信息的中继站。
