PolyU research reveals neurocognitive correlates of testosterone in young men that shape generosity and self-worth

Caption

TPJ activity processes generosity parametrically. (A) Left TPJ region (peak [−60, −34, 20]) coding degree of generosity (Z = 4.29 and P = 0.011, whole-brain cluster-level FWE corrected). The parameter estimates reflect parametric modulation of all participants from illustrated left TPJ region and show that activity encodes the amount forgone during generous choices. (B) Right TPJ region (peak [57, −34, 26]) showing trend-level relation to degree of generosity (Z = 4.31 and P = 0.050, whole-brain cluster-level FWE corrected). The parametric modulators of all participants from illustrated right TPJ region show that activity encodes the amount forgone during generous choices. Activations in A and B and similar figures throughout are displayed at P < 0.001 uncorrected.
