Popis: Although the influence of gonads on sexual behavior has been empirically known for a number of centuries, it was not until the pioneering studies of Brown-Sequard and Steinach at the beginning of the twentieth century that this relationship was scientifically analyzed. Moreover, the clever experiments conducted by these researchers suggested the existence of humoral factors that regulate not only sexual behavior, but also the morphological characteristics that define gender.
