EVIDENCE FOR INVOLVEMENT OF THE SUBCOERULEUS NUCLEUS AND NUCLEUS RAPHE MAGNUS IN URINE STORAGE AND PENILE ERECTION IN DECEREBRATE RATS

Abstract

This electrophysiological study demonstrated that the subcoeruleus nucleus and nucleus raphe magnus are involved in both urine storage and penile erection, and that their physiological functions are reciprocally controlled; so that erection leads to inhibition of micturition.
