This preregistered study investigated whether human paternal testosterone levels predicted fathers' time spent with their child and their involvement in childcare and household tasks. Additionally, we examined whether associations were mediated by fathers' attitudes toward child gender stereotypes. Associations were tested in an exploratory sample (n = 70, M = 6.

Deep learning models highly accurately predict brain age from MRI but their explanatory capacity is limited. Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) methods can identify relevant voxels contributing to model estimates, yet they do not reveal which biological features these voxels represent. In this study, we closed this gap by relating voxel-based contributions to brain-age estimates, extracted with XAI, to human-interpretable structural features of the aging brain.

Background: Food cue reactivity shapes eating behavior and likely relates to weight and hunger states. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) studies, however, have yielded mixed results on the underlying neural correlates. We, therefore, conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the effect of weight and hunger on neural responses to food cues.
