虽然分析行为经验对神经细胞色素氧化酶（CO）活性的影响的效用是公认的，但CO活性的内源性差异的行为相关性很少被探索。在雄性豹纹壁虎（Eublepharis macularius）中，胚胎发生过程中经历的孵化温度（IncT）和年龄影响了视前区（POA）的CO活性，该区域调节交配行为。在这项研究中，作者评估了POA CO活性的差异是否与完整和阉割壁虎的性行为差异相关。男性与IncT和年龄依赖性增加POA CO活性安装女性与较短的乳，而完整的和阉割后，更频繁地射精后阉割。作者讨论了CO活性的预测价值，并提出了类似的平行其他物种。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2016阿帕，保留所有权利）
Although the utility of analyzing behavioral experience effects on neural cytochrome oxidase (CO) activity is well recognized, the behavioral correlates of endogenous differences in CO activity have rarely been explored. In male leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius), the incubation temperature experienced during embryogenesis (IncT) and age affect CO activity in the preoptic area (POA), an area that modulates copulatory behavior. In this study, the authors assessed whether differences in POA CO activity correlate with differences in sexual behavior in intact and castrated geckos. Males with IncT-and age-dependent increases in POA CO activity mounted females with shorter latencies while intact and after castration and ejaculated more frequently after castration. The authors discuss the predictive value of CO activity and propose similar parallels in other species.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
