Ah! Statistics was very easy for me. Thus I majored in it. Even though I went to a supposed party school, UC-Santa Barbara, I could never find any parties. I was too much of a prude and no one wanted to invite me, I guess. LOL! Where did you find all the parties?

Empathic neural responses are modulated by the perceived fairness of others

It's a letter, not a whole article apparently. Someone who wrote the story linked in comment 45 apparently talked to the Nature letter authors, and they discussed the nucleus accumbens activity in males.
Then again, it may be nothing but the hunting instinct and the ancient pleasure of a successful kill and the anticipation of an ensuing full belly. I tend to be suspicious of psychological tests that investigate the primitive nature of man in a modern context.
I would like to see a similar form of this study done with women and shoes and men and a hamburger. Interesting? Maybe. Conclusive? Not likely.
Sorry, but it's a pdf. format.

The contrast images were then entered into one-sample t-tests, separately for female and male subjects, to instantiate random-effects group analyses28,29.
Justice is the right word. Good comment.
