Abstract：
:Mendelson and Gorzalka recently described a bilevel chamber for the evaluation of rodent sexual behavior. In initial studies it was observed that during 5 min adaptation periods prior to the introduction of a sexually receptive female rat, male rats with prior sexual experience in these chambers would move from level to level in apparent search for the female rat. In Experiment 1, we examined the acquisition of this level searching behavior in male rats. Sexually active male rats were given access to either sexually receptive or nonreceptive female rats following a 5 min period alone in the bilevel chamber. Only male rats that pursued and copulated to ejaculation with sexually receptive females in the bilevel chamber significantly increased the number of their level to level movements in subsequent tests during the 5 min periods prior to the introduction of the female rat. In Experiment 2, male rats that had acquired asymptotic rates of level searching showed a significant attenuation of this behavior when the presentation of a female rat into the chamber was discontinued. These findings lead us to conclude that the increase in level to level movement by the male rat represents a sexually motivated search for the female rat. We suggest that the analysis of the acquisition, maintenance, and extinction of level searching behavior might serve as a simple assay of sexual motivation in the male rat.
