NEUROLOGICAL & GENETIC STUDY OF TRANSSEXUALISM

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 随着越来越多的论点指出生物因素对人类性取向的影响，对可能影响变性人身份的生物因素知之甚少。 特别令人感兴趣的是什么神经和认知结构对男性到女性（MTF）的变性身份有影响。 本研究拟使用脑成像，神经心理测试和心理测量，以试图确定影响变性人身份的因素。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. As a growing number of arguments point to the influence of biological factors on human sexual orientation, less is known about biological factors that may influence a transsexual identity. Of particular interest are what neurological and cognitive structures have an effect on a Male-to-Female (MTF) transsexual identity. This study intends to use brain imaging, neuropsychological tests, and psychological measures in order to attempt to identify factors influencing a transsexual identity.
