摘要: Rotational behavior induced by electrical stimulation of ascending dopamine neurons is used as a behavioral model to investigate gender and hormonal influences on extra-hypothalamic systems. Steroid hormones influence the metabolism many dopaminergic drugs, therefore this approach avoids complications inherent in drug-induced models activity. We found that gonadectomy female, but not male, rats severely attenuates stimulation-induced rotational behavior. This suggests some female gonadal steroid hormone(s) may modulate activity neurons, while male do not.
