Fig. 10 — nLOT-lesioned rats have impaired sexual behavior. Histograms show means + SEM values. a The latency to the first anogenital exploration of receptive females was significantly longer in nLOT- and sham-lesioned rats than in control. No differences were found between nLOT- and sham-lesioned rats. b The percentage of cumulative time over the duration of the test that nLOT-lesioned rats engaged in anogenital exploration was significantly shorter than in sham-lesioned and control rats. Sham-lesioned rats also spent significantly less time in anogenital exploration than controls. c The percentage of cumulative time over the duration of the test that nLOT-lesioned rats spent in female pursuit was significantly shorter than that spent by sham-lesioned and control rats. Sham-lesioned rats also spent significantly less time in female pursuit than controls. d The percentage of cumulative time over the duration of the test that nLOT-lesioned rats spent in sniffing and rearing behaviors was significantly shorter than that spent by sham-lesioned and control rats. No differences were found in these behaviors between sham-lesioned and control rats. e None of the nLOT-lesioned rats exhibited mounting over the 10 min of testing. Contrariwise, all sham-lesioned and control rats exhibited mounting, but the latency to mount was significantly longer in sham-lesioned than in control rats. *p < 0.001 compared to control rats; ^# p < 0.05, ^## p < 0.01 and ^### p < 0.001 compared to sham-lesioned rats
