Men with smaller testicles tend to be more involved as fathers, a new study suggests.
James Rilling and his colleagues at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, used MRI scans to measure the volume of the testicles of 55 fathers.

The team also used fMRI brain scanners to look at the brain activity of the men as they viewed photos of their kids.
