Here we investigated how crying, relative other emotive sounds of laughing or adult captures adults' brain resources. In a sample nulliparous women and men, the effects different on cerebral activation default mode network (DMN) reaction times (RTs) while listeners engaged in self-referential decision syllabic counting tasks, which, respectively, require deactivation DMN.
