  • Silencing and stimulating the medial amygdala impairs ejaculation but not sexual incentive motivation in male rats

    Citation Excerpt :

    Our findings were in line with MeA lesion studies [20–22,11,23,24], as we found that silencing of the MeA impaired ejaculation as shown by an increased latency to ejaculation, and consequently also caused a reduction in the achieved number of ejaculations. Similar to what others found [10,12,20], we also observed that more mounts and intromissions preceded ejaculation, while the intromission ratio was not affected. This indicates that erectile function is not impaired by MeA silencing.
