SEX AND THE BRAIN

Preliminary Program

Ferris State University Conference Center

Holiday Inn Hotel

Big Rapids, Michigan

 

Headlines proclaim new findings linking brain anatomy and physiology to sexual orientation, to sex drive, to sexual desire, and to gender differences in sexual attitudes and behavior. Which of these claims are supported by data, and which are exaggerated hype? What are the latest research findings? What are the implications of this research for sex therapists, teachers, researchers, and the public in general? What are the political implications of focusing on the anatomy of the brain rather than on cultural and interpersonal influences? Join us for a weekend of stimulating discussion on Sex and the Brain, as well as other sexuality-related topics. We will begin with the basics, Brain 101, and then be guided by world renowned scientists through cutting-edge research on how genes, hormones, the nervous system, and culture affect and regulate sex and sexuality.  For many persons, students, professionals, and others, this could be one of the most valuable conferences ever.

THE SETTING

This conference is at the Ferris State University Conference Center, which blends state-of-the-art conference and hotel facilities with an array of relaxing, recreational opportunities. Big Rapids is a charming college town nestled on the edge of the pristine Manistee National Forest, where the air is clean, wildlife abounds, and relaxing is easy--ask anyone who attended our meeting there in 1992. June in Big Rapids averages a balmy mid-70's by day and a crisp mid-50's by night. We plan ample time for people to learn, reflect, share, network, relax, and enjoy the serenity and beauty of the area.

CANOE TRIP, June 13: The Pere Marquette River (PMR) is designated a Wild and Scenic River.  It meanders through remote virgin forest where wildlife abounds.  This is a delightful way to relax with family, commune with nature, enjoy seeing wildlife, and become better acquainted with colleagues having similar interests. Laura Forbes and Rick Betsy Allgeier will lead this "workshop" and assist in matching experienced with inexperienced canoeists.  The PMR is 30 miles from Big Rapids.  Time on the river is about 3 hrs.  Our group will leave the hotel at 12:01 pm (sharp), Thursday, June 13 and return about 5:30 pm.

(You will pay the $25/canoe rental fee at canoe livery.)

 

SUGGESTIONS FOR CANOEISTS:  Wear old tennis shoes to protect feet from stones; swim suits or cutoffs are okay, but be mindful of sunburns. Carry sunscreen for exposed body parts.  Bring hat, long pants, and long-sleeve shirt to protect body from excess sun; and in case it is cool, a sweatshirt or jacket.  Carry extra clothes and a towel in a closed, sturdy plastic garbage bag tied in the canoe.  Don't take expensive cameras, etc.  If you take a camera, place it in a Ziploc bag inside your garbage bag. Flotation cushions supplied with canoes.  Non-swimmers should have life vests. For more information on canoeing, contact Robert Friar at:  friar@ferris.edu  or at 231-591-2542.

8:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m.  (Meet in hotel lobby and leave at 8:15 a.m. to go to the anatomy lab in Science-222.)

Workshop:  Human Anatomy with Emphasis on Sexual and Brain Anatomy:  Session 1

Robert E. Friar, Ph.D. Professor of Physiology and Anatomy, Ferris State University

Because enrollment is limited, this workshop will be conducted three times: Thur. @ 8:30 am; Thur. @ 12:00 pm; Sat. @ 9:00 pm.

          

DESCRIPTION: This workshop should provide an unparalleled opportunity for teachers, therapists, clinicians, and others to see, experience, and discuss the human body.  We will use diagrams, pictures, models, human brains, hearts, lungs, and other human organs, plus human cadavers to examine and discuss the structures and functions of the human body. 

 

This workshop will begin with a brief overview of the 11 organ systems, their development, structures, and functions and how abnormal development and/or pathological conditions of one organ can affect the entire body.  We will then focus our attention on the complexities of the nervous system, the parts of the brain, and on brain functions as they relate to sexuality and reproduction.  We will study, in-dept, the female and male reproductive systems and the unique and essential roles they play in our lives.  Relevant hormones will also be discussed.  Information of how to get materials and pictures of the brain and reproductive systems for teaching will be provided.  Be sure to enroll early if you prefer a specific time for this workshop.  If we cannot give you your first choice, I will contact you by May 23 to discuss the available options that are best for you.
