科学家发现女性脑电路控制着基于生殖状态的交配接受率。 Scientists find brain circuit in females that controls mating acceptance based on reproductive state.

Champalimaud基金会的科学家在大脑的脑中发现了一个神经电路,控制雌性哺乳动物接受还是拒绝交配尝试。 Scientists at the Champalimaud Foundation discovered a neural circuit in the brain's ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) that controls whether female mammals accept or reject mating attempts. 这种电路对孕酮敏感,影响防御行为,如在非受孕阶段踢脚,同时在生育期减少活动,允许交配。 This circuit, sensitive to progesterone, influences defensive behaviors like kicking during non-receptive phases, while reducing activity during fertile periods to allow mating. 在《Neuron》中公布的调查结果揭示出一种双中子系统,根据生殖状态规范性行为。 The findings, published in Neuron, reveal a dual-neuron system that regulates sexual behavior based on reproductive state.
