Sex differences in directional brain responses to infant hunger cries.
Infant cries are a critical survival mechanism that draw the attention of adult caregivers, who can then satisfy the basic needs of otherwise helpless infants. Here, we used functional neuroimaging to determine the effects of infant hunger cries on the brain activity of adults who were in a cognitively nondemanding mental state of awake rest. We found that the brains of men and women, independe...
متن کاملEating with our eyes: From visual hunger to digital satiation
One of the brain's key roles is to facilitate foraging and feeding. It is presumably no coincidence, then, that the mouth is situated close to the brain in most animal species. However, the environments in which our brains evolved were far less plentiful in terms of the availability of food resources (i.e., nutriments) than is the case for those of us living in the Western world today. The grow...
متن کاملSex differences in response to lithium treatment.
OBJECTIVE Although sex differences occur with some psychotropic drug treatments, they are not well defined for mood-stabilizing agents, including lithium. The authors' goal was to investigate whether there are differences between the sexes in response to lithium.

متن کاملSex differences in response to dietary carbohydrates.
Until recent times it was considered that the type of carbohydrate consumed did not influence the metabolism, as all carbohydrates were converted to glucose. This idea has now been dismissed and the question has arisen as to whether the metabolic response to a particular carbohydrate in the diet can be modified in any way by variables such as the sex of the consumer. Interest in the metabolic r...
متن کاملSex Differences Sex Chromosome Complement Contributes to Sex Differences in Bradycardic Baroreflex Response
To investigate whether sex chromosome complement modulates bradycardic baroreflex response and contributes to the angiotensin II–bradycardic baroreflex sex differences, we used the four core genotype mouse model in which the effect of gonadal sex and sex chromosome complement is dissociated, allowing comparisons of sexually dimorphic traits among XX and XY females, as well as in XX and XY males...
