Maguire - Localization of Function

Brain can adapt to changing environments, more grey matter in hippocampus, proving central to memory

Milner - Localization of function

Hippocampus is integral to memory formation

Rogers - Neurotransmitters

Proved how serotonin is related to mood and arousal

Frank et. al

Proved how dopamine affects weight of the benefits given by people

Draganski (Medical students) - Brain imaging techniques

Investigated structural brain changes due to learning and practice using MRI. Hippocampus increased in grey matter proving localization of function

Draganski (juggling) - Brain imaging techniques

Investigated structural brain changes in participants who learned to juggle, showing increased grey matter in areas related to hand-eye coordination. Used MRI scans.

Albert - Hormones

Studied how hormones influence behavior and physiological responses, contributing to our understanding of endocrine system functions. Lower testosterone levels means less aggressive behavior

Dabbs - Hormones

Conducted research on the relationship between testosterone levels and various behaviors, particularly aggression and dominance. Testosterone is linked to violent, criminal behavior

Zhou - Pheromones

Humans can use chemical signals to detect an individual with romantic potential

Savic - Pheromones

Suggests that pheromones exist in humans

Lumey - Genetics

Dutch Hunger famine, proved that epigenetics; prenatal conditions can influence people’s health across lifetime

Dias and Resseler - Genetics

Genetic inheritance in rats, parents can pass on learned sensitivity through epigenetics
