高潮时刻女性的大脑如何运作

　　The scientists found that two minutes before the orgasm, the brain's reward centers become active, the areas usually activated when eating food and drink. Immediately before they reached the peak, other areas of the brain became affected such as the sensory cortex, which receives “touch” messages.

　　科学家们发现，在高潮前两分钟，大脑的奖励中枢开始活跃（奖励中枢通常只会经由“食”和“饮”来激活）。而在高潮的前一刻，诸如感觉皮层（负责接收“触觉”信息）这样的其他部位也开始受到影响。

　　Once the orgasm has started other parts of the brain are activated such as those responsible for emotion - the cingulated cortex and the insula. The final part of the brain to be activated is the hypothalamus, the “control” part of the brain which regulates temperature, hunger, thirst and tiredness. At the same time another area responsible for pleasure is activated - the nucleus accumbens - as well as the caudate nucleus, which is responsible for memory.

　　高潮开始，负责情感的扣带回皮层、脑岛等大脑其他部位被激活。而最后一个活跃起来的是控制人体的温度、饥渴感觉以及困倦感的下丘脑。同时，另外一处负责“愉悦”感的伏隔核，以及负责记忆的尾状核也开始活跃起来。

　　Now the scientists also want to build up a similar picture for men so they can compare how the sensation affects the male and female brains.

　　如今科学家们正努力绘制出男性的高潮脑部变化图，以便比较高潮对两性脑部的影响究竟有何不同。
