Micrometer CT Reveals Clitoral Neural Anatomy
Recent research has produced the first 3-D map of nerves within the clitoral glans, enhancing our understanding of female anatomy. This study reveals the complex innervation of the clitoris, which has implications for women's health and sexual response. The findings challenge previous notions about clitoral nerve structure and highlight the need for careful consideration in surgical procedures involving the vulva.
- ▪Scientists have created a detailed 3-D map of the clitoral nerve network using advanced imaging techniques.
- ▪The study identified previously uncharacterized nerve pathways and branches related to the clitoris and surrounding structures.
- ▪These findings are significant for improving surgical outcomes in gender-affirming and reconstructive surgeries.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Twenty-first-century medicine has mapped many anatomic puzzles and now can pinpoint the tiniest DNA mutations. Yet gaps remain — especially in our understanding of the female body. Nearly 30 years after researchers charted the penile nerve network, scientists have produced the first 3-D map of nerves inside the clitoral glans, said Ju Young Lee, PhD, neuroscientist at Amsterdam University Medical Center, Amsterdam, Netherlands, opening new lines of research into female pleasure and other women’s health issues.As reported on bioRxiv, micrometer-scale computed tomography images of the female pelvis were obtained using a synchrotron radiation x-ray source.
