Our brains. Yet there is surprisingly little research into the ways our brains influence our sex drive. Extraordinary insights into how the brain works can be gained when something goes wrong through brain injury or disease. In Sex in the Brain, clinical neuropsychologist Dr Amee Baird takes readers on an entertaining and informative tour of the sexiest bits of the human brain. Spiced with real case studies, the book reveals pathologies no longer hidden in medical journals or the bedrooms of people whose sex lives are undergoing dramatic change, for better and worse. In the style of popular neurology guru Oliver Sacks, Baird captures the humanity and complexity of patients, even when their neurological challenges have rendered them permanently or temporarily unlikeable. Drawing from true stories, this revealing and sometimes heartbreaking book unfolds a better understanding of the links between brain function and our sexual selves. 650 0 $a Sex (Psychology) 650 0 $a Brain $x Physiology. 650 0 $a Sex. 650 0 $a Sex (Biology) 650 0 $a Brain $x Sexual behavior. $x Patients $x Sexual behavior. 650 0 $a People with disabilities $x Sexual behavior. 650 0 $a Brain $x Sexual behavior. $x Patients $x Sexual behavior. 650 0 $a Neuropsychology $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Sex addiction. 650 0 $a Sexual desire disorders. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200702012651.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6192A526BC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
