Field Considerably
The people who know what they want and are choosy about their mates are infinitely more attractive to the opposite sex. Be choosy and I assure you people will be more drawn to you.
Researchers have found that it is the work of a brain hormone called kisspeptin, that drives both attraction to the opposite sex and sexual behaviours, an advance that can lead to treatment for patients with psychosexual disorders.
Kisspeptin has already been identified as the key molecule within the brain responsible for triggering puberty and controlling fertility.
The findings show that puberty, fertility, attraction and sex are all controlled by a single molecule – kisspeptin – but through different brain circuits running in parallel with one another.
The study, conducted on mice, revealed that a subset of neurons in the hypothalamus — a brain region — drives both attraction to the opposite sex and sexual behaviour.
Pheromones — a chemical substance produced and released by an animal — secreted by the male mouse activate these neurons which, in turn, transmit this signal to another population of neurons (gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons) to drive attraction to the opposite sex.
Simultaneously, they also transmit this signal to cells that produce the neurotransmitter nitric oxide to trigger sexual behaviour, the researchers said.
“This work has provided new insight into how the brain decodes signals from the outside world and then translates these environmental cues into behaviour,” said Ulrich Boehm, Professor at the Saarland University in Germany.
