Through an unexpected collaboration, Wu Tsai Neuro interdisciplinary postdoc Renzhi Yang discovered that the brain circuits controlling mouse sexual behavior are far more dynamic than researchers had realized.

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

Wu Tsai Neuro interdisciplinary scholar Renzhi Yang and colleagues in the lab of institute affiliate Nirao Shah have found that a particular neuronal circuit in male mice is responsible for sexual arousal and for the actions and pleasure that ensue.
