Gender differences are an important factor regulating our daily interactions. Using functional
magnetic resonance imaging we show that brain areas involved in processing social signals …

Sex-discriminating facial features are examples of visual information involved in guiding
social behavior. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to assess brain …

Neuroscientific research on the perception of emotional signals has mainly focused on how
the brain processes threat signals from photographs of facial expressions. Much less is …

BACKGROUND: Females appear to be more sensitive and responsive to social cues,
including threat signals, than are males. Recent theoretical models suggest that …

Women's preference for masculine faces varies with hormonal state, sociosexuality, and
relationship status, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We hypothesized …

Under stress, men tend to withdraw socially whereas women seek social support. This
functional magnetic resonance imaging study indicates that stress also affects brain activity …

Face perception in humans is mediated by activation in a network of brain areas.
Conventional univariate fMRI data analysis has not localized differential responses to …

The ability of humans to predict and explain other people's actions is of immense value for
adaptive behavior and nonverbal communication. Gender differences are often evident in …

Facial emotion perception is fundamental to human social behaviour, and changes with age.
Nevertheless, age-related differences in the relative activation of components of emotion …

During every social approach, humans must assess each other's intentions. Facial
expressions provide cues to assist in these assessments via associations with emotion, the …
