“…Chemosignals from estrous females activate the MeA in male hamsters, as seen by Fos expression [4] . Androgen receptors are found in the MeA, and testosterone or dihydrotestosterone are required for NCE stimulated by an estrous female [5] and blocking of androgen receptors in the MeA prevents NCE [6] . Administration of androgens directly into the posterodorsal subnucleus of the medial amygdala (MePD) does not cause spontaneous erection, without the presence of an estrous female [7] therefore, the MePD may be responsible for causing erections when activated by olfactory cues or chemosignals.…”

“…Testosterone is required for sexual dimorphism of the MeA neurons [8] and also for AVP expression in the MeA [12,13]. The essential nature of testosterone is further supported by the observations that antagonism of androgen receptors in the MeA inhibits penile erection in male rats in presence of estrus females [14]; an effect reversed by testosterone implants within the MeA of castrates [15,16]. …”

“…Such males displayed longer latencies before their first sexual comportment and had less noncontact erections. Furthermore, they spent less total time in genital grooming in comparison to the control group (Bialy et al, 2011).…”
