Female funny bone begins in brain
When a particular joke goes over well with one sex and not the other, you might chalk it up to biology. Apparently, there are differences in humor appreciation between the sexes.
When a particular joke goes over well with one sex and not the other, you might chalk it up to biology. Apparently, there are differences in humor appreciation between the sexes.
Using functional MRI, Stanford University researchers found that women and men had similar neurological responses to a series of black-and-white cartoons. Women, however, tended to make greater use of the nucleus accumbens, implying greater reward network response (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2005;102[45]:16496-16501).
The nucleus accumbens is associated with psychological reward, including situations of self-reported happiness, monetary reward, the processing of attractive faces, and cocaine-induced euphoria.
Researchers said that insight into these sex differences may aid in understanding the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders, most notably depression, an affliction that strikes twice as many women as men, with dramatic effects on the capacity to experience reward.
Seven Takeaways from New CT and MRI Guidelines for Ovarian Cancer Staging
January 20th 2025In an update of previous guidelines from the European Society of Urogenital Radiology published in 2010, a 21-expert panel offered consensus recommendations on the utility of CT, MRI and PET-CT in the staging and follow-up imaging for patients with ovarian cancer.
Can Generative AI Facilitate Simulated Contrast Enhancement for Prostate MRI?
January 14th 2025Deep learning synthesis of contrast-enhanced MRI from non-contrast prostate MRI sequences provided an average multiscale structural similarity index of 70 percent with actual contrast-enhanced prostate MRI in external validation testing from newly published research.
Can MRI Have an Impact with Fertility-Sparing Treatments for Endometrial and Cervical Cancers?
January 9th 2025In a literature review that includes insights from recently issued guidelines from multiple European medical societies, researchers discuss the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in facilitating appropriate patient selection for fertility-sparing treatments to address early-stage endometrial and cervical cancer.
