Estrogen-sensitive neurons and sexual behavior in female cats

R P MICHAEL. Science. .

Abstract

The stimulation of mating behavior by means of the stereotaxic introduction of small implants of solid C(14)-diethylstilbestrol di-n-butyrate to the hypothalamus of ovariectomized cats is described. Autoradiographic examination of the brains of mating animals reveals that certain neurons in the region of these implants show a selective affinity for labeled estrogen.
