摘　　要：Mating behaviors are controlled by genetically hardwired circuits(Figure 1A),which endow sexually mature animals with the ability to respond appropriately upon encounters with conspecifics of the opposite sex without needing prior training,thereby facilitating propagation of the species(Chen&Hong,2018;Wei et al.,2021;Xiao et al.,2022).When a male mouse meets a female mouse in estrus and wants to initiate mating,he usually shows appetitive investigation by approaching the female and sniffing her genital area;afterward,the male places his forepaws on the back of the female,a behavior called mounting(Figure 1B).
