title: Proceptive presenting elicited by electrical stimulation of the female monkey hypothalamus.
abstract: Proceptive presenting by female macaque monkeys was evoked by electrical stimulation of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus and the medial preoptic area, under conditions of partial restraint while sitting in a primate chair. This behavior could be elicited only when a male monkey was in close proximity and not when he was removed or was replaced with a female monkey or the human experimenter. This seems to be the first report on the effects of electrical brain stimulation on proceptivity in the female monkey.
