Neurological control of human sexual behaviour: insights from lesion studies
Source: Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry

We have provided the first synthesis of the literature to date examining the effects of neurological insult on human sexual behaviour, and complementary functional neuroimaging findings. Our understanding of this issue is limited and primarily based on case and small scaled studies. There is, however, considerable convergence among the available research that has enabled the identification of six key brain regions, each mediating specific aspects of human sexual behaviour. Accumulating evidence suggests that the temporal lobes are a critical region in the mediation of human sexual behaviour, with the amygdalae playing an integral role in regulating human sexual drive. This review highlights the need for further examination of the neural correlates of this fundamental and universal aspect of human life. It is hoped that this review will stimulate further research, particularly into the key brain regions we have identified to date.
