Sexual interactions with unfamiliar females reduce hippocampal neurogenesis among adult male rats

Highlights • Sexual interactions with unfamiliar females reduced neurogenesis in male rats. • Interactions with anestrus females had no effects on neurogenesis in male rats. • Some behaviors differed when males interacted with familiar and unfamiliar females. • Neurogenesis levels were not directly...

Description
Summary:	Highlights • Sexual interactions with unfamiliar females reduced neurogenesis in male rats. • Interactions with anestrus females had no effects on neurogenesis in male rats. • Some behaviors differed when males interacted with familiar and unfamiliar females. • Neurogenesis levels were not directly correlated with amount of sexual activity.
