Abstract:
The study investigated the possible involvement of serotonin in the medial preoptic area in the regulation of sexual behavior of male rats. Injection of serotonin in the medial preoptic area resulted in an inhibition, whereas cyproheptadine (a serotonin antagonist) produced a slight facilitation, of male sexual behavior.
