| Abstract
|
:
|
Although a role of the nervous system was recognized for the reflex-like induction of ovulation in rabbits and cats and the in- duction of pseudopregnancy in rats and mice, and although there was even some evidence of neural participation in ovulation in rats, a major central neural role in the female cycle of most species was not apparent.
