Racial Differences in Dietary Relations to Cognitive Decline and Alzheimer's Disease Risk: Do We Know Enough?

abstract：:Oxytocin (OXT) has been implicated in prosocial behaviors such as trust and generosity. Yet, these effects appear to strongly depend on characteristics of the situation and the people with whom we interact or make decisions. Norms and rules can facilitate and guide our actions, with fairness being a particularly salie...
