Effects of mPOA microinjections of D1-like agonist and antagonist (D1+: SKF-38393; D1-: SCH-23390) and D2-like agonist and antagonist (D2+: Quinpirole; D2-: Raclopride) on the frequency (top) and latency (bottom) of consummatory sexual behaviors in male Japanese quail.

Effects of mPOA microinjections of D1-like agonist and antagonist (D1+: SKF-38393; D1-: SCH-23390) and D2-like agonist and antagonist (D2+: Quinpirole; D2-: Raclopride) on the frequency (top) and latency (bottom) of consummatory sexual behaviors in male Japanese quail. Behavior was tested during tests that immediately followed measures of RCSM. Behaviors are reported as mean ± standard error. Results of the ANOVAs are listed in a separate column and when appropriate, results of post-hoc tests are listed next to the corresponding means (a, b, c, d = p<0.05 versus Saline, SKF-38393, SCH-23390, and Quinpirole, respectively).
