Hypothalamic temperature and deep body temperature during copulation in the male rat

The medial preoptic area (MPOA) of the hypothalamus is involved in both the expression of male sexual behavior and the regulation of physiological temperature. This duality of function led us to ask whether arousal, intromission, and ejaculation are accompanied by a distinctive temperature profile....

description The medial preoptic area (MPOA) of the hypothalamus is involved in both the expression of male sexual behavior and the regulation of physiological temperature. This duality of function led us to ask whether arousal, intromission, and ejaculation are accompanied by a distinctive temperature profile. Using telemetric thermosensors, we monitored MPOA temperature and deep body temperature during copulation in the male rat. Changes in MPOA temperature were highly uniform, more so than changes in body temperature. The MPOA heated prior to ejaculation, cooled rapidly following ejaculation and then began to heat again coincident with the termination of the post-ejaculatory refractory period. These changes could not be related to variations in general activity. The most striking change in MPOA temperature, rapid cooling following ejaculation, was explained in terms of certain behaviorally-induced hemodynamic events.
