Klappentext A fascinating look at how the brain controls our relationships and romancesNeuroscientists, 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 c 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.

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 brainThe core science and latest research is drawn from the prestigious Scientific American and Scientific American Mind magazines.
