Publications
Sexual orientation-related differences in prepulse inhibition of the human startle responseQazi Rahman
Institute of Psychiatry, Department of Psychology, University of London, England, UK
Behav Neurosci 117:1096-102. 2003..These data provide the first evidence for within-gender differences in basic sensorimotor gating mechanisms and implicate the known neural substrates of PPI in human sexual orientation...
Performance differences between adult heterosexual and homosexual men on the Digit-Symbol Substitution subtest of the WAIS-RQazi Rahman
Department of Psychology, Institute of Psychiatry, De Crespigny Park, London, UK
J Clin Exp Neuropsychol 26:141-8. 2004..The magnitude of these differences were modest by standard criteria. No differences were found between heterosexual and homosexual women. The findings implicate within-sex variation in one test that relies on intact executive function...
Biosocial factors, sexual orientation and neurocognitive functioningQazi Rahman
Department of Psychology, Institute of Psychiatry, King s College University of London, De Crespigny Park, London, SE5 8AF, UK
Psychoneuroendocrinology 29:867-81. 2004..These findings are discussed in relation to biosocial influences on cognitive differences between heterosexuals and homosexuals...
Developmental instability is associated with neurocognitive performance in heterosexual and homosexual men, but not in womenQazi Rahman
Department of Psychology, Institute of Psychiatry, University of London, London, United Kingdom
Behav Neurosci 118:243-7. 2004..No associations were found in heterosexual or homosexual women. These results suggest that developmental instability is linked to neurocognitive integrity in men, but not in women...
Allocentric spatial memory in humans with hippocampal lesionsDavid M Parslow
Department of Psychology, Institute of Psychiatry, University of London, De Crespigny Park, SE5 8AF London, UK
Acta Psychol (Amst) 118:123-47. 2005..This finding implicates the right hippocampal formation in spatial memory functioning in a scenario in which the visual environment was controlled so as to eliminate extraneous visual cues...
Sexual-orientation-related differences in verbal fluencyQazi Rahman
Department of Psychology, Institute of Psychiatry, University of London, England
Neuropsychology 17:240-6. 2003..A difference between heterosexual men and women was demonstrated on category and synonym fluency only. The findings implicate within-sex differences in the functioning of the prefrontal and temporal cortices...
Are there sex differences in neuropsychological functions among patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder?David Mataix-Cols
Department of Psychological Medicine, Institute of Psychiatry, King s College London, UK
Appl Neuropsychol 13:42-50. 2006..We conclude that sex does not seem to be a major determinant of neuropsychological function in OCD, but the observed cross-sex shifts on some tasks deserve further examination...
Neurodevelopmental correlates of paraphilic sexual interests in menQazi Rahman
Department of Biological Sciences, Queen Mary College, University of London, Mile End Road, London, UK
Arch Sex Behav 37:166-72. 2008..It is suggested that processes such as developmental instability and maternal immunity may play a role in variant sexual preferences among otherwise healthy heterosexual men...
Sexual orientation related differences in spatial memoryQazi Rahman
Department of Psychology, Institute of Psychiatry, University of London, UK
J Int Neuropsychol Soc 9:376-83. 2003....
Fluctuating asymmetry, second to fourth finger length ratios and human sexual orientationQazi Rahman
School of Psychology, University of East London, The Green, London, UK
Psychoneuroendocrinology 30:382-91. 2005..The findings constrain the number of possible neurodevelopmental pathways responsible for sexual orientation in humans...
A reanalysis of five studies on sexual orientation and the relative length of the 2nd and 4th fingers (the 2D:4D ratio)Dennis McFadden
Department of Psychology and Center for Perceptual Systems, University of Texas, Austin, Texas 78712 0187, USA
Arch Sex Behav 34:341-56. 2005..The constancy of the 2D:4D ratio for the White homosexuals did not appear to extend to homosexuals of three other ethnicities, and there were also subpopulation differences related to right or left hands...
The neurodevelopment of human sexual orientationQazi Rahman
School of Psychology, University of East London, The Green, London E15 4LZ, UK
Neurosci Biobehav Rev 29:1057-66. 2005..Future investigations, across the neurosciences, should focus to elucidate the fundamental neural architecture underlying the target-specific direction of human sexual orientation, and their antecedents in developmental neurobiology...
Sex, sexual orientation, and identification of positive and negative facial affectQazi Rahman
School of Psychology, University of East London, The Green, London E15 4LZ, UK
Brain Cogn 54:179-85. 2004..However, there were no overall sex differences in accuracy. These findings suggest a limited role for sex in the perception of facial affect...
Selective sexual orientation-related differences in object location memoryBano Hassan
School of Psychology, University of East London, London, United Kingdom
Behav Neurosci 121:625-33. 2007..These data may limit possible developmental pathways for sexual variation in selective forms of spatial memory...
Sexual orientation-related differences in allocentric spatial memory tasksQazi Rahman
Department of Psychology, School of Psychology, University of East London, London, United Kingdom
Hippocampus 18:55-63. 2008..These data may limit the number of possible neurodevelopmental pathways responsible for sexual variation in components of spatial learning and memory...
