Acetylcholine nicotinic receptors play a central role in the modulation of rewarding behaviors by interacting with dopamine transmission: evidence from male rat sexual behavior
ACh is released during copulation to satiety and contributes to the instatement and maintenance of the sexual inhibitory state of sexually satiated rats through the activation of nAChR. DA is involved in the MEC-induced reversal of sexual satiety.
