A developmental examination of gender differences in brain engagement during evaluation of threat
BACKGROUND: Females appear to be more sensitive and responsive to social cues,
including threat signals, than are males. Recent theoretical models suggest that
developmental changes in brain functioning play important roles in the emergence of such
gender differences. METHODS: We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to
examine developmental and gender differences in activation of neural structures thought to
mediate attention to emotional faces depicting varying degrees of threat. Analyses focused …
