PG - 151-60 LID - S0306-4522(12)01195-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2012.12.014 [doi] AB - We have previously shown that the first-paced mating encounter increases the number of newborn cells in the granule cell layer (Gra; also known as internal cell layer, ICL) of the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) in the adult female rat (Corona et al., 2011). In the present study we evaluated if repetition of the stimulus (paced mating) could increase the arrival of more newborn neurons in the olfactory bulb generated during the first session of paced sexual contact. Sexually naive female rats were bilaterally ovariectomized, hormonally supplemented with estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P) and randomly assigned to one of four groups: (1) without sexual contact, (2) one session of paced mating, (3) four sessions of paced mating, and (4) four sessions of non-paced mating. We also included a group of gonadally intact females. On the first day of the experiment, all females were i.p. injected with the marker of DNA synthesis bromodeoxyuridine and were killed 16 days later. Blood was collected at sacrifice to determine the plasma levels of E2 and P. The number of newborn neurons that arrived at the ICL of the AOB and the Gra of the main olfactory bulb (MOB) increased, relative to all other groups, only in the group that repeatedly mated under pacing conditions. No differences were found in E2 and P levels between supplemented groups indicating that our results are not influenced by changes in hormone concentrations. We suggest that repeated paced mating promotes the arrival of more newborn neurons in the AOB and MOB. CI - Copyright (c) 2012 IBRO. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
