Human immunohistology
Population or material studied
Human penile tissue examined for neural density and distribution.
Major findings
Examines the distribution of neural tissue across sampled penile regions.
Limitations
Histological distribution is not a measure of pleasure and does not show that restoration reproduces the same neural architecture.
Relevance to restoration
Provides anatomy context, not evidence of restoration-related sexual change.
