Neural Pathways of Sexual Arousal
Introduction The research I conducted for the neuroscience emphasis graduation requirement was a combined topic with my gender studies minor thesis. The thesis title was Dirty Minds: Comparing the Gender Differences in Neural Sexual Arousal with Theories of Human Sexuality. The first purpose of the thesis was to explore the neuroscience evidence for gender differences in sexual arousal to bette...
متن کاملNeural activations of the acquisition of conditioned sexual arousal: effects of contingency awareness and sex.
INTRODUCTION Learning processes like classical conditioning are involved in mediating sexual behavior. Yet, the neural bases underlying these processes have not been investigated so far. AIM The aim of this study was to explore neural activations of classical conditioning of sexual arousal with respect to sex differences and contingency awareness. METHODS In the acquisition phase, a geometr...
متن کاملA sex difference in the specificity of sexual arousal.
Sexual arousal is category-specific in men; heterosexual men are more aroused by female than by male sexual stimuli, whereas homosexual men show the opposite pattern. There is reason to believe that female sexual arousal is organized differently. We assessed genital and subjective sexual arousal to male and female sexual stimuli in women, men, and postoperative male-to-female transsexuals. In c...
متن کاملNeural correlates of sexual arousal in homosexual and heterosexual men.
Men exhibit much higher levels of genital and subjective arousal to sexual stimuli containing their preferred sex than they do to stimuli containing only the nonpreferred sex. This study used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate how this category-specific pattern would be reflected in the brains of homosexual (n = 11) and heterosexual (n = 11) men. Comparisons of a...
متن کاملAre Attractive People Rewarding? Sex Differences in the Neural Substrates of Facial Attractiveness
The current study examined the neural substrates of facial attractiveness judgments. Based on the extant behavioral literature, it was hypothesized that brain regions involved in identifying the potential reward value of a stimulus would be more active when men viewed attractive women than when women viewed attractive men. To test this hypothesis, we conducted an event-related functional magnet...
