• Approach–Avoidance versus Dominance–Submissiveness: A Multilevel Neural Framework on How Testosterone Promotes Social Status (2013, background): “Endogenous testosterone levels are indeed related to more aggressive decision making and simultaneously reduced activity in the OFC, a brain area consistently involved in the reduction of impulsive and aggressive behavior through its bidirectional connectivity with the amygdala (Mehta & Beer, 2010).”
• The neuroscience of social decision-making. (2011, background): “These two findings may be related , as a recent fMRI study has linked testosterone with decreased VMPFC activity (Mehta & Beer 2010).”
• Decision making and testosterone: When the ends justify the means (2010, background): “And finally, Mehta and Beer (2009) show that higher testosterone suppresses vmPFC activity during social decision making.”
