Lesions in the ventromedial midbrain tegmentum of female golden hamsters produced various degrees of impairment of the lordosis response to male hamsters or manually delivered somatic stimuli. The most severe deficits were produced by anterior lesions, whereas larger, more posterior lesions sometimes produced no lordosis impairment. In tests where lordosis was not completely eliminated, the lesions tended to impair maintenance rather than elicitation of lordosis, thus constituting a different behavioral effect from that associated with deep tectal or central gray lesions in this species.
雌性金黄地鼠中脑腹内侧被盖区的损伤对雄性地鼠或人工给予的躯体刺激所产生的脊柱前凸反应造成了不同程度的损害。最严重的缺陷是由前部损伤引起的，而较大、更靠后的损伤有时并未导致脊柱前凸受损。在脊柱前凸未被完全消除的测试中，这些损伤往往会损害脊柱前凸的维持而非诱发，因此构成了与该物种中脑深部或中央灰质损伤相关的不同行为效应。
