Two limb model of the SDM for maternal, and male and female sexual behaviours. Projections from VMH and MPOA to PAG are responsible for consummatory behaviours. projections from the MPOA to the VTA, with subsequent dopaminergic signalling in the ventral striatum, are responsible for appetitive behaviours, including evaluation of the motivational significance of stimuli.
