  • Secreted by the testes in males,supporting male traits as it influences aggressiveness, supporting male traits as it influences aggressiveness (12)
  • Sensitive/good resolution; possible to map association areas; can track ongoing brain activity (3, 4, 10)
  • ssociated with the brain - in how it involved in learning and memory; stimulates muscle contractions; excites nerves; too much = tremors; too little motor disfuntion (12, 3)
  • Study behaviour between family members who have similar genetics to different degrees. Inheritance (6, 7)
  • The brain's ability to rearrange its connections with its neurons; that is the changes that occur in the structure of the brain as a result of learning or experience (exposure to different environments), occurs with new learning or brain injury (5, 10)
