520 "A fascinating look at how the brain controls our
relationships and romances. Neuroscientists, psychologists,
and most men and women readers today have learned that the
brain is Grand Central Station for our most erotic
associations, memories, and secret desires. The latest
research shows that the popular myth is true: Sexual
orientation and identity is hard-wired, the result of our
neurological predisposition, not a choice or result of
socialization. We instinctively crave connection and
relationship as an essential part of our well-being, self-
esteem, and pleasure. The process of achieving and
recovering from orgasm ignites the same pleasure centers
in the brain as exercise, music, religion, food, alcohol,
and drugs. Sexual desire can be triggered by a thought, a
smell, a touch, or the sight of an object of desire. These
sensorium are located at different parts of the brain, and
can be activated indefinitely into our senior years.
Filled with little known and fascinating information about
the brain. The third Scientific American book in the
series about the brain. The core science and latest
research is drawn from the prestigious Scientific American
and Scientific American Mind magazines"--|cProvided by
