During the visual stimulation occipital cortex was activated by either an erotic or non-erotic film. However, more than 4 of the 6 subjects were significantly activated in the areas of inferior frontal lobe, cingulate gyrus, insula gyrus, corpus callosum, thalamus, caudate nucleus, globus pallidus, and inferior temporal lobe by erotic stimulation. These results are the fist demonstration to show the possibility of using BOLD-based functional MRI in evaluating cerebral region of female sexual arousal response. However, further studies are needed to verify that fMRI provides an important new tool in evaluating the cerebral center of the female sexual arousal.
