Stimulation Of

Electrical stimulation in the mesencephalic central gray (CG) and adjacent subtectum through chronically implanted electrodes in free-moving estrogen-primed ovariectomized female rats elicited a rapid and large facilitation of the lordosis reflex in response to either male mounts or manula cutaneous stimuli. Unilateral stimulation was sufficient for this effect. The facilitation increased in a graded manner to increased stimulus intensity, and was optimally evoked by stimuli delivered at 50--150 Hz. Facilitation disappeared rapidly following the end ot electrical stimulation, and within 15 min, reflex performance returned to the prestimulation level. Lordosis facilitation appeared when no aversive responses occurred; stimulation with comparable parameters at the lateral edge of CG or in the mesencephalic reticular formation often resulted in postural changes or aversive responses but was not able to facilitate lordosis. Lordosis refelx facilitation was probably mediated by projections descending from neurons in and around the CG, and represents stimulation of a functional link between ascending somatosensory and descending motor systems for the control of lordosis behavior.
