We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Neural Control of Reproduction
One of the fundamental problems in psychobiology is understanding how motivation is translated into behavior. Where motivation is dependent upon hormone effects on brain, it is reasonable to suppose that hormone sensitive brain systems must ultimately integrate with neural tissues more directly involved in the control of movement. Electrical stimulation of parts of the thalamus, a discrete brain structure, provoke coordinated locomotion. Dr. David Edwards will focus his research on examining the potential contributions of certain thalamic regions to the control of male sexual behavior in rats. He will use lesion techniques to study the importance of each thalamic regionin male sexual behavior. He will also determine other brain regions essential in the sexual behavior of males. Dr. Edwards has been productive in this research area in the past and his preliminary results suggest he will continue to be a leading figure in this area of behavior.

Neural and Chemosensory Control of Behavior
9521208 Edwards Reproductive behaviors are essential for the survival of all species. Testicular hormones are required for reproduction, and hormones activate mating in males by actions that increase the sexual responsiveness of males to females. For many species, sexual status is communicated by odors, and olfaction makes an important contribution to sexual arousal in males. Dr. Edwards proposes to examine the neural pathways through which the olfactory system and populations of hormone-sensitive neurons in the brain regulate male reproductive behavior. Neuroanatomical techniques will be used to identify androgen-sensitive neurons and neurons active during mating. Special attention will be given to a brain region that includes the zona incerta and central tegmental field. Restoration of mating in castrate males by incerta/tegmental testosterone implants can show the importance of the region for the hormonal regulation of copulation. Large lesions of the incerta/tegmental continuum eliminate mating. Studying the effect of small lesions to this region can help identify neuronal cell fields essential for copulation, and provide a foundation for studies designed to reveal the projection systems through which androgens exert their effects on reproductive behavior. Because the studies include measures of sexual behaviors (erection, sexual approach towards a female), they have relevance for understanding how male reproductive behavior is represented in the organization of the brain in many species, including man.
