Correlation of dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens with masculine sexual behavior in rats
TL;DR: DA and DOPAC were significantly increased during copulation, but not during mild tail pinch, consistent with studies showing increases in N. Acc.

A contributory role for midbrain progesterone in the facilitation of female sexual behavior in rats.
TL;DR: These studies indicate that although progesterone stimulation in the midbrain alone is not sufficient to facilitate receptivity in female rats with the authors' methods, the mid brain may play an auxiliary role, and P implants in the upper midbrain appear to facilitate reception in the case of VMN implant treatments that are subthreshold for stimulating lordosis.

TL;DR: Adult male rats treated prenatally with haloperidol exhibited a significant increase in the intensity of ultrasonic 22 kHz post-ejaculatory calls emitted during sexual behaviour, and ultrasonic vocalization in rats is a sensitive indicator of subtle changes in adverse treatments administered during development.

Mediation of rat postejaculatory 22 kHz ultrasonic vocalization by dopamine D2 receptors.
TL;DR: There is a decrease in the number of intromissions required to reach ejaculation in animals treated with SKF 38393, LY 171555 and it is suggested that 22 kHz PEV is under the control of dopamine D2 receptors.

Effects of neonatal exposure to the antiprogestin mifepristone, RU 486, on the sexual development of the rat.
TL;DR: Results indicate that RU 486 has clear developmental effects in the rat, which may well be a result of progesterone receptor blockade, and further research is needed to clarify the processes involved.
