Nucleus Accumbens Dopamine Signaling Regulates Sexual Preference for Females in Male Mice

Nucleus Accumbens Dopamine Signaling Regulates Sexual Preference for Females in Male Mice

Sexual preference for the opposite sex is a fundamental behavior underlying reproductive success, but the neural mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we examined the role of dopamine signaling in the nucleus accumbens core (NAcc) in governing chemosensory-mediated preference for females in TrpC2−/− and...
