Stanford study finds sex-drive circuitry in mouse brains. What it could mean for humans

Stanford University scientists have identified a brain circuit that controls sex drive in male mice, a finding researchers say could one day lead to a better understanding of human sexuality. If replicated in people, the findings could significantly boost our understanding of sexual behavior.
