Neural images are related to human behavioral neuroendocrinology, and in other areas of behavioral science, interest in brain anatomy and activation related to sex and sex hormones is increasing. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of a typical boy aged 8 to 11 years showed that sexual difference brain structure tests were associated with amniotic testosterone, affecting gray-white mass in some areas, but intermediate call size It did not affect. The meaning of the behavior of the effect is not clear (anatomy has nothing to do with behavior). By associating amniotic testosterone with behavior it is unclear why girls were not studied to be included in other aspects of this study.

It is greatly influenced by the development of chemistry, biology, anatomy and neuroscience. Special scientific discussions from late 18th century to the early 19th century took place between biologists and materialists and many of the works and lectures produced in this discussion affected Mary Sherry's scientific philosophy and that Shaped. The composition of her Frankenstein. As early as 1793, a series of lectures on the nature and composition of the life of the gay hospital and a materialistic view of life science challenged the physiological understanding of mind and body dualism It was. Life scientists believe that life has its own power or metaphysical principles. They are inherently independent and inherently different from the anatomical structure. Thelwall advocated a materialistic claim that life is spontaneously produced from non-living things due to the special arrangement of inactive substances (Roe, Introduction 1-4).
