Pheromones Enhance Somatosensory Processing in Newt Brains through a Vasotocin-Dependent Mechanism
We tested whether the sex pheromones that stimulate courtship clasping in male roughskin newts do so, at least in part, by amplifying the somatosensory signals that directly trigger the motor pattern associated with clasping and, if so, whether that amplification is dependent on endogenous vasotocin...
