Between-sex differences in brain activity. (Upper) During anticipation of uncertain rewards. Statistical maps showing greater right hippocampal and left middle frontal gyrus activity in women than in men (Left) whereas men showed greater activation (Right) in bilateral ventral striatum. (Lower) At the time of reward delivery. Women showed more activation in anterior medial prefrontal cortex and subgenual gyrus compared with men (Left), who, in turn, showed more activation in a bilateral fronto-parietal network, the right inferior temporal cortex, and the supplementary motor area (Right).
