Product Description

Review
"In this slim and elegant volume, LeVay explores why we are sexual animals, what brain mechanisms produce sexual behavior and how they differ in men and women. He asks What determines sexual orientation? Genes, events in the womb or nurture?' - a work of stunning scientific scholarship enhanced by gracious style and modesty." --Avodah K. Offit, "Los Angeles Times"

Product Description
Written with clarity, directness, and humour, "The Sexual Brain" examines the biological roots of human sexual behavior. It puts forward the compelling case that the diversity of human sexual feelings and behavior can best be understood in terms of the development, structure, and function of the brain circuits that produce them. A new afterword to this paperback edition takes up the work of Dean Hamer and his colleagues, who in 1993 produced molecular genetic evidence of a gene that influences sexual orientation in men.

5.0 out of 5 stars Praise from a fellow "brain author", 15 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Levay has a wonderful handle on sexuality as it relates to the brain. A well documented discussion on what is known about sex, sexuality, and the brain. I referenced it in my own book, "The Care and Feeding of your Brain" Giuffre, DiGeronimo, Career Press 1999. Ken Giuffre MD
