Estrogen receptors in the medial amygdala inhibit the expression of male prosocial behavior.

6 Oct 2008 Studies using estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) knock-out mice indicate that ERalpha masculinizes male behavior. Recent studies of ERalpha and male prosocial behavior have shown an inverse relationship between ERalpha expression in regions of the ... Read more...

The effect of personality variables in the prediction of the execution of different prospective memory tasks in the laboratory.

29 Sep 2008 The study of prospective memory (ProM), the remembering of the delayed execution of intentions, has been growing in recent years, and we know quite a bit about the cognitive variables that affect it. But the performance of a task depends on ... Read more...

How to stop and change a response: the role of goal activation in multitasking.

29 Sep 2008 Multitasking was studied in the stop-change paradigm, in which the response for a primary GO1 task had to be stopped and replaced by a response for a secondary GO2 task on some trials. In 2 experiments, the delay between the stop signal and the ... Read more...
