Androgen-mediated brain sexual differentiation
Differences in male and female brain
Homosexual brain
Transsexual brain
Sexual dimorphisms are the sex-related differential expressions in the phenotype and genotype of individuals. Human behavior is influenced by the chromosomal sex, the phenotypic sex and the gender. Chromosomal sex includes XX for chromosomal females and XY for chromosomal males. Phenotypic sex is determined by internal and external genitals, secondary sexual characters and the behavior. Gender is defined as an individual’s perception of his or her sex and sexual orientation.
