متن کاملWhere Evolutionary Psychology meets Cognitive Neuroscience
Cognitive neuroscience, the study of brain-behavior relationships, has long attempted to map the brain. The discipline is flourishing, with an increasing number of functional neuroimaging studies appearing in the scientific literature daily.

In this manner we were able to generate a number of hypothe...
