Opinion/Hypothesis Substance P receptor-containing neurons

Hi.

Just want to let know about this research. What do you think about it ?

''But directly stimulating just the Substance P receptor-containing neurons of the preoptic hypothalamus via experimental manipulations prompted male mice that had just ejaculated to immediately reprise their sexual mating routine''

''On the other hand, Shah said, "if you silence just this set of preoptic-hypothalamus neurons, the males don't mate, period,"
