Abstract
Performance on two preoperative and two postoperative copulation tests was compared for male rats given total hippocampal, dorsal hippocampal, neocortical, and no lesions. Eight rats were in each group. Tests were continued to a satiety criterion. Statistically significant increases in Mount Latency and Intromission Latency were found in the rats with total hippocampal lesions. There were no other significant differences.

As measured by ejaculation-frequency, the curve of sexual recovery is negatively accelerated and probably reaches asymptote after 7 to 10 days of rest, and various other measures in addition to ejaculations-frequency support this conclusion.
