Collective problem solving can provide benefits over individual decisions as we are able to share our information and experiences, said a new study from Wellcome Trust's Centre for Neuroimaging at the University College London. Now researchers have shown that the testosterone has the opposite effect -- it makes people act less cooperative and more egocentric, the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B reported. Researcher Nick Wright and colleagues at the Centre for Neuroimaging carried out a series of … Read more »

Reading Time: < 1 minuteTestosterone is a hormone produced by the testicles and is responsible for the proper development of male sexual characteristics.

As a man ages, the amount of testosterone in his body gradually declines. This natural decline starts after age 30 and continues throughout life. Other causes of low testosterone … Read more »

However, more recent studies indicate that it also fosters social behavior. Prior research has suggested that the hormone may actually … Read more »
