Lesions in the temporal lobes of monkeys significantly lengthened menstrual cycles and altered vaginal exfoliation patterns, unlike unilateral lobectomy.

Abstract

In four experimental and five control monkeys, we recorded 178 menstrual cycles. Unilateral temporal lobectomy in two animals had no effect upon lengths of menstrual cycles. Bilateral lesions in two animals affected menstrual function, producing significantly lengthened menstrual cycles with unfamiliar vaginal exfoliation patterns.
