The attraction of women to the opposite sex hormone responsible kisspeptin. It found an international group of scientists from Germany and Belgium, according to Science Daily, reports Rus.Media.

Biologists from the University of Saarland and the University of liège has studied the amygdala of the brain of mice, which is responsible for emotional state and sexual behavior. In it they found neurons sensitive to the hormone kisspeptin.

The researchers then activated these neurons, and observed the behavior of animals. Was that the mice began to show increased social activity and to pay more attention to the opposite sex. It is also interesting that the tests showed a decrease in anxiety levels.

The study notes that the development of kisspeptin females mice activate the pheromones emitted by males. Says study co-author Ulrich Boehm, this opens up the possibility for the creation of medicines for women who suffer from sexual disorders.

Previously, scientists have linked kisspeptin with the process of puberty and regulation of reproductive function.

“Before that, we have little understanding of how the brain binds together ovulation and sexual attraction. Now we understand that these processes are controlled by a single molecule in different parts of the brain in parallel,” the study says.
