Study Notes

Turner syndrome is associated with better visuospatial abilities.
Klinefelter syndrome affects males and is caused by an extra X chromosome.
Individuals with 47,XYY tend to be taller and leaner than average.
The development of gonads is the first step in the development of male and female reproductive structures.
Intersex conditions can be caused by genetic mutations or hormonal imbalances during fetal development.
AIS affects the normal development of the Wolffian system in males.
The differentiation of the internal organs follows the development of the gonads.
Puberty is initiated by the release of GnRH and can have implications for physical and psychological development.
Sex reassignment can alleviate gender dysphoria but carries risks of suicide and psychological disorders.
Treatment guidelines have been developed to address gender dysphoria.1. Sexual development involves the development of internal and external reproductive structures and is influenced by genetic, hormonal, social, and environmental factors.
Sexual differentiation occurs during prenatal and early postnatal development and is permanent, while sexual maturation occurs during puberty and adulthood and is reversible.
Exposure to certain hormones during prenatal development can lead to differences in sexual development and behavior.
Sex hormones are synthesized from cholesterol in the gonads, adrenal glands, brain, bone, and fat cells.
Research has identified markers that are correlated with prenatal hormone exposure, such as otoacoustic emissions and the size of certain brain regions.
Sexual orientation is associated with genetic and prenatal hormonal influences and structural differences in the brain.
Hormones play a role in adult sexual behavior, and the hypothalamus regulates the release of sex hormones through the secretion of GnRH.
Two-thirds of adults with major depressive disorder are female, while three-quarters of individuals with autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and Tourette's syndrome are male.
The book discusses sexual dimorphism in the brain, which refers to structural differences between the brains of males and females.
Exposure to certain hormones during prenatal development can influence personality traits such as empathy and cognitive performance.1. Ovulation is the process of releasing a mature egg from the ovary.
Hormones control the menstrual cycle, with FSH and LH being key regulators.
Premenstrual syndrome and postpartum depression are related to hormonal changes.
Female contraception includes breastfeeding, oral contraceptives, and injections.
Male contraception options are limited, but research is ongoing.
Physical attractiveness is influenced by cultural standards and biological factors.
Romantic love and sexual desire are associated with brain activity and hormone release.
Reproductive pressures lead to different sexual behaviors for males and females.
Monogamy can be advantageous for both males and females in terms of offspring survival.
Scent preferences may be influenced by immune system compatibility.- Hormone receptor densities in the brain contribute to monogamous or promiscuous behavior

Oxytocin and vasopressin help parents achieve a balance between caretaking and aggression for their young
Sexual problems can be biological or psychological in origin
Sexual dysfunction can be associated with type 2 diabetes and the use of antidepressants
Female sexual dysfunction includes reduced desire and orgasm problems, which can be treated with testosterone
Erectile dysfunction affects approximately 30 million men in the US
Erections occur as a result of direct stimulation or cognitive factors
Parasympathetic neurons release acetylcholine and nitric oxide into the spongy erectile tissues of the penis
Medications used to treat erectile dysfunction enhance the effects of nitric oxide on the erectile tissues
Oxytocin levels during pregnancy and childbirth predict maternal bonding behaviors
