The sexual motive may induce the individual to approach the incentive, and eventually to …

Early and recent studies show that dopamine through its neuronal systems and receptor
subtypes plays different roles in the control of male sexual behavior. These studies show …

Rhythmic gene expression is found throughout the central nervous system. This harmonized
regulation can be dependent on-and independent of-the master regulator of biological …

Astronauts will encounter extended exposure to galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) during
