Yet now, a new study from investigators at The Ohio State University (OSU) may have many scientists rethinking behavioral development, as the researchers found a surprising new explanation of how young brains are shaped for sexual behavior later in life. Findings from the new study—published recently in the Journal of Neuroscience through an article titled
