Review :Hormones can determine what the brain is interested in doing. Their purpose is to help guide social, sexual, mating, parenting, protective, and aggressive behaviors. They can affect being rough-and-tumble, competing in sports or attending sporting events, solving problems, interpreting facial expressions and others’ emotions, male-male bonding, dating and mating, ogling attractive females, forming sexual and pair-bond relationships, protecting family and turf, fantasizing, masturbating, and pursuing sex.
YOU COULD say that my whole career prepared me to write my first book, The Female Brain. As a medical student I had been shocked to discover that major scientific research frequently excluded women because it was believed that their menstrual cycles would ruin the data. That meant that large areas of science and medicine used the male as the “default” model for understanding human biology and behavior, and only in the past few years has that really begun to change. My early discovery of this basic inequity led me to base my career at Harvard and the University of California-San Francisco (UCSF) around understanding how hormones affect the female and male brains differently and to found the Women’s Mood and Hormone Clinic. Ultimately that work led me to write The Female Brain, which addressed the brain structures and hormonal biology that create a uniquely female reality at every stage of life.
