A study published in BMCNeurosci finds that, compared with men, the neural activation in women who haven’t given birth to a child increases during the processing of infant emotional faces, making them more sensitive to infant cues.

) based on MATLAB 2015a. For data preprocessing: The preprocessing step contained slice timing correction, realignment, normalization to the Montreal Neurological Institute space template, and spatial smooth was applied using a 4 mm Gaussian kernel. Slice timing correction was performed using the middle slice in time as reference. Spatial realignment was utilized to correct for head motion. The functional images were co-registered to the high-resolution T1-weighted images.

The rs-fMRI data preprocessing applied in the research were as below: Original DICOM format was converted into NIFTI format; the first ten volumes of the functional images were discarded to allow for the magnetization to reach a steady state; the rest functional volumes were corrected with respect to slice timing and head motion correction by linear regression process, then images were realigned; structural images were co-registered to the average functional data, and normalized fMRI data were...
