Does right occipital cortex suppress male rat testosterone secretion by a pituitary-independent mechanism?
The right occipital but not the right frontal cortex is involved in the control of T secretion. The caudal part of the corpus callosum accommodating the fibers originating from the occipital cortex might have a similar function. The fact that LH remained unchanged in all experimental groups suggests that the right occipital cortex and the caudal part of the corpus callosum influence testicular steroidogenesis by a pituitary-independent mechanism.
Repeated exposure to odours seems to improve general olfactory sensitivity in children.
