dc.description.abstractVariance in spatial abilities are thought to be determined by in utero levels of testosterone and oestrogen, measurable in adults by the length ratio of the 2nd and 4th digit (2D:4D). We confirmed the relationship between 2D:4D and spatial performance using rats in two different tasks (paired-associate task and watermaze) and replicated this in humans. We further clarified anatomical and functional brain correlates of the association between 2D:4D and spatial performance in humans.
dc.description.sponsorshipBranco Weiss, Society in Science Fellowship; This study was supported the Branco Weiss, Society in Science Fellowship. N.M. performed the MRI analysis, S.C. dissected the rat fingers and measured 2D:4D, M.N. performed the rat watermaze behaviour experiments, T.M.R. and G.P. performed the human watermaze experiments, A.S., M.C. and G.F. contributed to the design of the MRI analysis, B.N.K and M.D. designed and performed the human imaging experiments, L.G. performed the rat paired associates experiments, conceptualized the analysis and wrote the first draft of the article. All authors discussed the results and contributed to the refinement of the article text. We would further like to thank Sandra Crombie and Richard Fitzpatrick for help with the paired-associates training in rats and Richard GM Morris for supervision of the rat experiments.
