Numerical simulation of the mathematical model illustrating the effects of two antagonists on the triggering of the memory for the biphasic circadian prolactin rhythm. (A), (C) Both peripheral oxytocin receptor antagonist (pOTa) and central prolactin antagonist (cPRLa) prevent the rhythm induced by cervical stimulation while the antagonist is present. However, the rhythm emerges once the antagonist has cleared from the system. (B), (D) The prolactin rhythm induced by peripheral oxytocin injection (pOT) is not triggered when the same antagonists are present during the injection.
