Libido Brain Connection

Meaning

The Libido Brain Connection is the clinical understanding that sexual desire, or libido, is primarily a neuroendocrine phenomenon, intricately regulated by the interplay between central nervous system activity and circulating hormone levels. It emphasizes that the psychological, emotional, and cognitive factors processed in the brain are just as crucial as the peripheral gonadal hormones like testosterone and estrogen. This connection highlights the need for a comprehensive assessment that addresses both the psychological drivers and the underlying hormonal milieu when treating issues of sexual health. True vitality requires integration of mind and body.
