性爱的最高境界莫过于达到性高潮，可是据统计，美国大约有四分之一的妇女难以达到性高潮；科学家认为，如果能找到女人高潮之谜，或许可以拯救这些无法达到高潮的妇女。 @& Y; [; c# i( R2 s5 ?' X7 c3 Y( f! f, B: t7 T" K) ^1 @, p
荷兰格罗宁根大学(the University of Groningen)的研究发现，当女人达到性高潮时，大脑有个区域──叫做「眼窝额皮质」(orbitofrontal cortex或OFC)就进入「关闭」状态，而使女人欲仙欲死。, o" L9 y5 c7 q* J& _, ]; v: \' t

这项研究邀请多名女性自愿者参与，在她们躺在核磁共振扫描器时，并与性伴侣调情到性高潮，而从脑部扫描出的照片显示，当她们达到高潮时，脑部的「眼窝额皮质」就会呈现关闭。8 t0 b! }" o6 b; t

研究人员乔治艾迪斯(Janniko Georgiadis)指出，当人们描述高潮的感觉，多以「失去控制」来形容，从电脑扫描照片来看，性高潮会改变人的意识状态。 研究人员认为，也许让性冷感的妇女观察自己脑部变化，再经由一些「训练」，控制脑部的「眼窝额皮质」放轻松，就能享受未曾经历的快感。 9 M4 o+ R8 g/ @, H% t2 k" ~' b" [; b- w# W4 a% `

Researchers at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands unwittingly stumbled across the results after they examined the brain scans of women taken while they orgasmed. + ?; `" B: s9 ^. Y4 C) m9 G$ a/ n+ S. B8 k' q! b
The team noticed that an area of the brain, known as the orbitofrontal cortex or OFC, switched off when the women climaxed.
