Here is the original text from the Controlled Substances Act page:

gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), which has been used as a general anaesthetic and for the treatment of narcolepsy and alcohol withdrawal with minimal side-effects and controlled action but a limited safe dosage range.

INAH 3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

INAH 3 is the abbreviation for the third interstitial nucleus of the anterior hypothalamus, and is the sexually dimorphic nucleus of humans. INAH 3 is significantly larger in males than in females irrespective of age. Homologues of the INAH3 have been observed taking a direct role in sexual behavior in rhesus monkeys, sheep, and rats. Lesions in this area of the male rhesus monkey brain reduced heterosexual behavior, but not sexual drive.

 Research 

A scientific paper authored by Simon LeVay and published in the journal Science suggests that the region is an important biological substrate with regards to sexual orientation. This article reported the INAH 3 to be smaller on average in homosexual men than in heterosexual men, and in fact has approximately the same size in homosexual men as in heterosexual women. A study by Dick Swaab similarly found the INAH 3 to be smaller in male-to-female transsexual people than in control males, and similar to control females.

"" Controversy "" LeVay's study was criticized as having various methodological flaws.
