Male brain is programmed to seek out sex over food (2015)

Male brain of nematode worms. >Although the neurons have only been found in the brains of nematode worms, scientists at University College London say that it is likely that similar mechanisms are at work in humans

Clickbait misrepresentation of a study on worms, which reinforces dubious and harmful stereotypes.

I wish it was just an issue of terrible journalism on epic levels, but it looks like the the studies Co-Author may be onboard the "I'm terrible at/to science" train :

"Although we have not looked in humans, it is plausible that the male human brain has types of neurons that the female brain doesn't, and vice versa. This may change how the two sexes perceive the world and their behavioural priorities."

This truly is a prime example of a dumpster fire of shame, career limiting laziness, and self destructive behavior.

I've quite often forgotten/ignored/overridden hunger when deep into some code and making good progress. A few times I have also forgotten that I was holding my arm in the air or holding something. I can easily imagine it's possible to override basic survival needs for some focused goal.
