Many reviews on sexual arousal in humans focus on different brain imaging methods and
behavioral observations. Although neurotransmission in the brain is mainly performed …

Background Objective Design Results Conclusion: We like to think about sexual activity as
something fixed, basic and primal. However, this does not seem to fully capture reality. Even …

Most of the neuroimaging studies on sexual behavior have been conducted with male
participants, leading to men-based models of sexual arousal. Here, possible factors and …

In the last fifteen years, functional neuroimaging techniques have been used to investigate
the neuroanatomical correlates of sexual arousal in healthy human subjects. In most studies …

Biological differences in male and female sexuality are obvious in the behavioral domain,
but the central mechanisms that might explain these behavioral gender differences remain …

Neuroanatomical textbooks typically restrict the central nervous system control of sexual
responsiveness to the hypothalamus, brainstem and spinal cord. However, for all its …

Sexuality as to its etymology presupposes the duality of sexes. Using quantitative
neuroimaging meta-analyses, we demonstrate robust sex differences in the neural …

Introduction Data concerning the physiology of female sexual functioning are still obtained
from animal studies, but an increasing amount of novel evidence comes from human …

Sexual arousal is a dynamical, highly coordinated neurophysiological process that is often
induced by visual stimuli. Numerous studies have proposed that the cognitive processing …

In recent years, functional neuroimaging techniques such as positron emission tomography
(PET) or magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have made possible the identification of …
