Male ejaculation acutely suppresses sexual motivation in male mice.In contrast, relatively little is known about how male ejaculation affects sexual motivation and sexual behavior in female mice.How the brain responds to the completion of mating is also unclear.Here, by using a self-paced mating assay, we first demonstrate that female mice show dec
