Abstract
Investigated the dynamics of hippocampal and cortical activity during copulation in 8 male Sprague-Dawley rats. Hippocampal theta rhythm accompanied appetitive behaviors, e.g., watching, sniffing, approaching, and mounting the female. Theta continued after most mounts without intromission, whereas intromission or ejaculation was followed by slowing and desynchronization of hippocampal activity. During rest, high-amplitude irregular slow waves and spindling appeared in the hippocampus and eventually in the cortex. Rest occurred primarily as S approached ejaculation and in the initial part of the postejaculation interval. Rest and its accompanying EEG spindling are interpreted as a developing sexual inhibitory process. A model involving interaction between a postulated arousal process and opponent sexual inhibitory process is presented. (27 ref)
