Abstract:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as a non-invasive neuroimaging technique, has been widely employed to investigate changes in functional brain regions. In recent years, the application of MRI in the study of lifelong premature ejaculation (LPE) has progressively uncovered the pathological mechanisms underlying abnormalities in LPE-associated brain regions. These mechanisms involve brain areas associated with higher-order cognitive and decision-making regulation, sensory and perceptual processing, as well as emotional regulation and reward systems. The application and findings of MRI in the study of LPE mechanisms will be introduced in this review, with the goal of deepening our understanding of the neuroimaging-based mechanisms of LPE.
