This research investigates the neural mechanisms controlling male ejaculation and the post-ejaculatory refractory period. By studying specific spinal neurons, the project aims to provide insights into male sexual function, which could inform treatments for sexual dysfunction.
Sexual behavior is fundamental for evolution and an important component of human well-being.
Ejaculation is a critical mechanism in male sexual function, which is hypothesized to be controlled by a neural circuit known as the 'spinal ejaculation generator' (SEG), located in the lumbar spinal cord.
The SEG has also been hypothesized to control the post-ejaculatory refractory period, a phase of sexual satiety, through ascending projections to the brain.
However, the mechanisms by which the SEG con…
