clitoris

Researchers say the clitoris has long been understudied compared with other human organs, and new work is now mapping its full anatomy and nerve supply. Coverage in science media highlights how much remains unknown about its internal structure and function, and argues that closing this research gap could improve medical care and sex education.

A new feature in Science Focus reports that researchers are finally unlocking the biggest mysteries of the clitoris, one of the least studied organs in human anatomy. The article highlights how recent research is closing long-standing gaps in scientific understanding of its structure and function, drawing attention to decades of underinvestment in female anatomy research.
