Low 2D:4D values are associated with video game addiction.

Androgen-dependent signaling regulates the growth of the fingers on the human hand during embryogenesis. A higher androgen load results in lower 2D:4D (second digit to fourth digit) ratio values. Prenatal androgen exposure also impacts brain development. 2D:4D values are usually lower in males and a...

description Androgen-dependent signaling regulates the growth of the fingers on the human hand during embryogenesis.
