What is to determine the role of acetylcholine in the formation and retrieval of memory?
The memory systems in the brain constitute a highly specialized and complex system.The hippocampus plays a critical role in converting memories of experiences from short-term memory to long-term memory.However, researchers found that short-term memory is not stored in the hippocampus as HM was able to retain information for a while if he rehearsed it.

Who is Antanova?
AIM of Zhou's study
What is to see the effect of AND and EST on heterosexual and homosexual men and women?
It seems that oxytocin may facilitate the expression of trust even after trust has been violated by potentially lowering defence mechanisms associated with social risk. This seems to happen by ignoring the negative feedback, which is important for adapting behaviour in the future. An interesting finding was that the researchers could only observe these behavioural and neural results when participants played the trust game but not when they played the risk game against a computer. According to the researchers, this suggests that oxytocin's effect on trust only comes into play in interactions with real people.
Who is Baumgartner?
The researcher who conducted a laboratory experiment to study hormones
Who is Newcomer?
Researchers: Draganski and Rosenzweig/Bennet
What is Neuroplasticity?
3 Rats. Each rat endured a different condition
Control Condition{CC}: Three rats in the cage
Impoverished Condition{IC}: Cage lacked toys and maze
Enriched Condition{EC}: A dozen rats and stimulus objects
Who is Rosenzweig?
AIM of Ronay and Von Hippel's study
What is to determine if men would take greater risks in the presence of an attractive female, than in the presence of a male?
It appears that the thickness of the cortex and the overall weight of the brain increased as a result of the enriched environment. A follow-up to this research indicated that just 30 minutes a day in an enriched environment produced the same changes in the brain in rats as had been observed in the original experiment where rats were exposed to the EC condition for a much longer period of time.

Researcher 2: Experiment
KC: Pheromones
Who is Wedekind & Zhou?
Researchers: Raine and Squire
What is Brain Imaging Techniques?
Taxi-Drivers and Non-Taxi drivers received an MRI.
They then took a Knowledge test of streets and locations in London.
Who is Magurie?
AIM of Newcomer's study
What is the effect of cortisol on memory?
The researchers found that when participants were injected with scopolamine, they demonstrated a significant reduction in the activation of the hippocampus compared to when they received a placebo. It appears that acetylcholine could play a key role in the encoding of spatial memories in humans, as well as in rats.
Who is Antanova?
Name the researcher who conducted interviews in their study of genetics?

Who is Wedekind?
AIM of Raine´s study
What is to look at direct measures of both cortical and subcortical brain functioning using PET scans in a group of murderers who have pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI)?
The inter-rater reliability of their diagnoses were 0.82 for MDD, 0.65 for anxiety disorders and 0.94 for alcohol dependency.By 12-years-old, 59.2% of the grandchildren were already showing signs of a psychiatric disorder - most commonly anxiety disorders.
