description The purpose of the present study was to determine the effects of sexual behaviorial manipulation on brain plasticity in adult male rats. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats that copulated during male sexual behavior testing were divided into four groups: control male; gonadectomized (Gdx) male; sexually active male; and sexually nonactive male. Female animals were used as an additional control group. At the end of a 12-week experimental period, the animals were again tested for male sexual behavior and tested for sexual motivation. Sexual behavior manipulations over the 12-week period resulted in significant differences in mount latency, mount frequency, intromission latency, intromission frequency, ejaculation latency, and the postejaculation interval. In the motivation test, significant differences in the number of approaches, contacts, and crossings of an electrified grid separating the test animal from a receptive female were also observed. Sexually dimorphic nucleus of the preoptic area (SDN-POA) volumes in sexually nonactive males were significantly smaller than in control males or sexually active males. Anteroventral periventricular nucleus (AVPV) volumes in the male groups were not significantly altered by sexual behavioral manipulations, however, the nonactive AVPV vol. was the only vol. not significantly different from the control female vol. These data demonstrate that in the adult rat, sexual behavioral manipulations resulted in significant alterations in behavior and in the vol. of the SDN-POA and that the effect of sexual behavior on the AVPV needs to be further investigated.
