[edit] Sex as a reward

I do not know any experimental protocole using sex as a reward, restricted in monkeys to food and drink --Gerard.percheron 15:30, 21 June 2006 (UTC)gerard.percheron

This is in the 'function' section which I originally wrote as an attempt to relate what is know from the lab to the real world. Food and sex were the two examples that I could think of that I thought most readers would regard as rewarding. JeremyA 22:15, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
I believe you misunderstand the statement. The release of dopamine causes a pleasurable euphoric feeling. Dopamine is a physiologic reward for certain things i.e. sex and food. --Drewlew (talk) 00:11, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Images at bottom, first row, fourth image with subtitle "Coronal section through mid-brain.": isn't that transverse? I just compared with the following image which is similar and said to be transverse. Could please someone check who has experience. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.32.123.135 (talk) 10:03, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
