Brain regions showing significant BOLD signal increases in male and female subjects when the brain activity associated with viewing the neutral film excerpts were subtracted from that associated with viewing the erotic film excerpts. Coordinates, given in mm, are defined in the Talairach and Tournoux stereotaxic space (Talairach and Tournoux, 1988).
