Abstract: | Female rats with complete transections of spinal cord at low thoracic levels did not perform lordosis. After treatment with quipazine, a serotonin receptor stimulant, some spinal rats were able to show hindquarter responses which resembled parts of the lordosis reflex. Also, serotonin receptor stimulants increased the intensity and receptive field size of vertebral dorsiflexion, a component of lordosis, in spinal females. |
