Association of sexual dysfunctions according to DSM-5 criteria with structural brain differences in women and men from the Hamburg City Health Study
This study identifies potential associations between sexual dysfunctions and structural brain differences in regions related to sexual function, arousal, inhibition, motor coordination, and pain processing. Results require cautious interpretation due to small sample sizes, but provide hypothesis-generating evidence for future research .
