Beauty is in the belief of the beholder: cognitive influences on the neural response to facial attractiveness.

abstract：:Emerging evidence indicates that mothers and non-mothers show different neurocognitive responses to infant stimuli. This study investigated mothers' psychophysiological, cognitive and neuronal responses to emotional infant stimuli. A total of 35 mothers with four months old infants and 18 control women without young c...
