Mate, sex is not a joke
SOME people may joke that men don't think with their heads when it comes to sex, but a study of monkeys suggests the brain plays a significant role in the decision to mate.
Brain scans of tiny marmosets show a lot of thought goes into choosing mates.
The team at the University of Wisconsin-Madison used functional magnetic resonance imaging to look at the monkeys' brain functions.
In the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, they said the brains became busy when the monkeys smelled sexy scents and the data corresponded sur prisingly closely to human studies.
