✦ Synopsis

Functional magnetic resonance imaging and echo-planar-imaging were used to investigate affect related gender differences in regional cerebral activity. The experiment was conducted using a standardized mood induction procedure. Blood-oxygen-level-dependent effect was measured in 13 male and 13 female healthy subjects, during both moods of happiness and sadness, respectively. Parallel to earlier neuroimaging findings, our results show brain activity in the amygdala of males during negative affect. Females failed to demonstrate a similar activation pattern despite matched subjective ratings of negative affect to males. Results point to differential regional cerebral correlates of emotional experience in males and females, which is suggestive of a more focal and subcortical processing of sadness in men.

The GI reaches adult levels (with highest values in the association cortices) around birth and does not decrease during aging.

## Abstract Gender differences have been well established in verbal and spatial abilities but few studies have examined if these differences also extend into the domain of working memory in terms of behavioural differences and brain activation. The conclusions that can be drawn from these studies a
