Glutamate in Male and Female Sexual Behavior: Receptors, Transporters, and Steroid Independence
The survival of animal species predicates on the success of sexual reproduction. Neurotransmitters play an integral role in the expression of these sexual behaviors in the brain. Here, we review the role of glutamate in sexual behavior in rodents and non-rodent species for both males and females. Th...
