Dimorfismo Sexual en el Cerebro
|
|
|
There are structural differences among brain circuits
associated with sexual behaviours. Some of these dimorphic differences
correlate with sex, sexual preference, or gender identity. It has been
shown that the sexual dimorphism of the brain is apparent only after puberty.
This finding implies that postnatal factors play an important role in the
establishment of the sexually dimorphic nature of brain circuits that mediate
sexual behaviors. The challenge is to understand through neurophysiological
studies what are some of these factors in the establishment of dimorphic
regions of the brain.
