Derntl et al
used MRI scans to study the impact of
testosterone
on
amygdala
activity in healthy males.
The higher the testosterone levels improved the amygdalas processing of
threat-related
stimuli,like fearful
facial
expressions
Elevated testosterone levels prepares both males and
females
to activate automatic processes,reducing
subconscious
fear
Helps explain that
males
are more likely to aggressive,given their
testosterone
levels compared to women
