Woman's Brain During Orgasm
Three-dimensional visualization reconstructed from scanned human data
of a woman's brain during orgasm. A functional magnetic resonance
imaging (FMRI) scan shows that activity is present in different areas
of this woman's brain during orgasm, not just the small regions that
were previously known to be involved. While the genital sensory regions
of the brain in the thalamus and cortex are not activated, the
orgasm-related brain regions are. These areas are normally activated by
genital stimulation, but in some individuals they can be stimulated by
thought alone.
