YOU/WE DO NOT HAVE TO BE NEUROSCIENTIST TO GET ORIENTATION ABOUT OWN
BODY REACTIONS INCLUDING SEXUAL EXITATION; UNLESS YOU FROM LONDON.

" Brain expert takes scalpel to delusions of gender

Science ...dismissed the “myth” that women’s brains are wired
differently from men’s. Gina Rippon, professor of cognitive
neuroimaging at Aston University, has accused fellow researchers of
producing scientific findings that can be used to support the old
prejudice... "

"What happens in the brain in a situation of sexual excitement ? Is it
the same thing for men and women ? A trip behind the scenes of
pleasure…


Different studies have used the projection of erotic images or video
in the MRI, with the aim of stimulating sexual excitement. Easier for
men… Even if men and women present many similar bilateral areas of
activation: anterior cingulate, medial prefrontal, orbitofrontal,
insular, and occipitotemporal cortices, amygdala and ventral striatum.
Men activate thalamus and hypothalamus as well, proportionately to
their excitement (Karama et al. Hum Brain Mapp 2002). The amygdala as
well, which is part of the limbic system, seems to be playing a major
role in men (Hamann et al. Nat Neurosci 2004).

Studies in positron emission tomography (PET scan), a technique which
is older than the functional MRI, have gone further. They imaged some
male volunteers while their partners were stimulating them manually
until ejaculation and orgasm (Holstege et al. J Neurosc 2003).
Activations were additionally seen in the ventral tegmental area,
which is also stimulated by the ecstasy associated with heroin use.
Maybe the two phenomenon are not so different!

Please note that in a jealous condition, men present activation in
areas linked to sexuality and aggression (amygdala and hypothalamus),
whereas in women the rear area of the superior temporal sulcus is
stimulated (Takahashi et al. Neuroimage 2006). Beware...
