What can animal models tell us about human sexual response?

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine behavioral paradigms used with rats and other species that are analogous and homologous to human sexual behavior including arousal, desire, reward, and inhibition. Results show that common neurochemical and neuroanatomical substrates of sexual responding between animals and humans can be identified and animal models of human sexual response can be used successfully as preclinical tools.

The Japanese quail as a model system for the investigation of steroid-catecholamine interactions mediating appetitive and consummatory aspects of male sexual behavior

Article Abstract:

Research with Japanese quail has suggested steroid hormones and monoamine neurotransmitters regulate male sexual behavior. How testosterone and dopamine interact and how the traditional model of this interaction should be tested are discussed.
