研究了视前下丘脑区在雌性环鸽求偶行为中的中介作用。研究了去卵巢鸽子在视前区（POA）、下丘脑后内侧区（PMH）或假性病变前后注射苯甲酸雌二醇（EB）的反应。只有PMH组的行为在病变后明显下降。另一项研究考察了颅内EB植入物是否能有效刺激去卵巢鸽子的求偶行为。单侧27或30毫米。[gauge] EB植入物被放置在整个下丘脑区域，包括吻侧到前视前区和尾侧到后丘脑。植入PMH对刺激行为最有效。强调了PMH在雌激素依赖性求爱行为调解中的重要性。讨论了下丘脑腹内侧在哺乳动物雌性性行为中的作用。
The role played by the preoptic-hypothalamic region in the mediation of female ring dove courtship behavior was examined. Ovariectomized doves were tested in response to estradiol benzoate (EB) injections both before and after preoptic (POA) region, posterior medial hypothalamus (PMH) or sham lesions. Only the PMH group''s behavior significantly declined following lesions. Another study examined whether intracranial EB implants would be effective in stimulating courtship behavior in ovariectomized doves. Unilateral 27- or 30-ga. [gauge] EB implants were placed throughout the hypothalamic region, including rostral to the anterior preoptic and caudal to the PMH. Implants in the PMH were most effective in stimulating behavior. The importance of the PMH in mediation of estrogen-dependent courtship behavior was emphasized. The role of the ventromedial hypothalamus in mammalian female sexual behavior was discussed.
