Transient neuromodulation can have long-lasting effects on neural circuits and motivational states. We examined dopaminergic mechanisms underlying mating drive and its persistence in male mice. Brief investigation of females primes a male’s interest to mate for tens of minutes, while a single successful mating triggers satiety that gradually recovers over days. We found that both processes are controlled by specialized anteroventral and preoptic periventricular (AVPV/PVpo) dopamine neurons in the hypothalamus. During investigations of females, dopamine is transiently released in the medial preoptic area (MPOA), an area critical for mating behaviors. Optogenetic stimulation of AVPV/PVpo dopamine axons in the MPOA recapitulates the priming effect of female exposure. Using optical and molecular methods for tracking and manipulating intracellular signaling, we show that this priming effect emerges from accumulation of mating-related dopamine signals in the MPOA via accrual of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels and protein kinase A (PKA) activity. Dopamine transients in the MPOA are abolished following a successful mating, likely ensuring abstinence. Consistent with this idea, inhibiting AVPV/PVpo dopamine neurons selectively demotivates mating, while stimulating these neurons restores the motivation to mate following sexual satiety. Therefore, accumulation or suppression of signals from specialized dopamine neurons regulates mating behaviors across minutes and days.
