Abstract:
Gender identity disorder, also known as transsexualism, has an unclear pathogenesis. Compared to cisgender individuals with this condition may exhibit specific alterations in brain gray matter, white matter, brain network, and metabolism. This article aims to summarize the brain imaging researches related to gender dysphoria, and to provide a review of the research findings on the brain structure and function for further research in this field.
