Research has repeatedly shown marked differences in men's and women's sexual response patterns; genital response in men tends to be elicited by cues that correspond to their sexual preference (preferred gender), while women's genital response is less sensitive to gender cues and more sensitive to the presence and intensity of other sexual cues (e.g., sexual activities).

This study explores the multifaceted influence of litter size, maternal care, exercise, and aging on rats' neurobehavioral plasticity and dentate gyrus microglia dynamics. Body weight evolution revealed a progressive increase until maturity, followed by a decline during aging, with larger litters exhibiting lower weights initially. Notably, exercised rats from smaller litters displayed higher body weights during the mature and aged stages.

Individuals with paraphilic interests in sexual violence or children may be more likely to sexually offend if they possess offense-supportive cognitions. These cognitions may develop in response to childhood adversity. However, this idea is largely based on research in men convicted of sexual offenses and may not generalize to non-incarcerated adults with paraphilic interests.

Men and women respond differently when presented with sexual stimuli. Men's reaction is gender-specific, and women's reaction is gender-nonspecific. This might be a result of differential cognitive processing of sexual cues, namely copulatory movement (CM), which is present in almost every dynamic erotic stimulus.

Article Synopsis
  • The capuchin monkey is an ideal model for neuroscience research due to its unique biological features like brain structure, genetic profile, and cognitive abilities.
  • Traditional stereotactic neurosurgery methods often rely on brain atlases but can result in inaccuracies due to individual variations in monkeys' brain sizes and shapes.
  • A new protocol using MRI imaging, along with a 3D-printed stereotactic head-holder and non-invasive fiducial markers, allows for personalized brain coordinate derivation, enhancing experimental design and accuracy in neurosurgery and benefiting other nonhuman primate research.
