Effects of an ICV administered D2-like agonist and antagonist (a. D2+: Quinpirole; b. D2-: Raclopride) on the frequency and latency of consummatory sexual behaviors in male Japanese quail (reported as mean ± standard error). Behavior was tested during isolated tests for copulatory behavior (left part of each table) or during tests that immediately followed measures of RCSM (right part of the table). Results of the ANOVAs are listed in two separate columns and when appropriate, results of post hoc test are listed next to the corresponding means (a, b, c = p<0.05 vs. Saline, Low, and Medium, respectively).
