Tremendous progress has been made in our understanding of the ultimate and proximate
mechanisms underlying social behavior, yet an integrative evolutionary analysis of its …

The medial preoptic area (MPOA) of the hypothalamus regulates maternal behavior, male
sexual behavior, and female sexual behavior. Functional neuroanatomical evidence …

Progesterone (P4) regulates a wide range of neural functions and likely acts through
multiple receptors. Over the past 30 years, most studies investigating neural effects of P4 …

Importance of the field: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has yet to find a safe and effective acute-
stage neuroprotective treatment. Experimental drugs targeting a single receptor mechanism …

Social status strongly affects behavior and physiology, in part mediated by gonadal
hormones, although how each sex steroid acts across levels of biological organization is not …

Sex steroid hormones released from the gonads play an important role in mediating social
behavior across all vertebrates. Many effects of these gonadal hormones are mediated by …

In this review, we summarize literature focused on how progesterone alters cocaine-induced
psychomotor, reinforcement, and physiological responses. Clinical studies suggest that …

Groups of 3 males and 4 females were housed in a seminatural environment for a period of
8 days. Female sociosexual behaviours were recorded and analysed from the beginning of …

The steroid hormone, progesterone (P), modulates neuroendocrine functions in the central
nervous system resulting in alterations in physiology and reproductive behavior in female …

This review summarizes what is presently known about the function, sexual differentiation,
and neural circuitry of juvenile rough-and-tumble play. Juvenile rough-and-tumble play is a …
