Please read through the following statements before discussing their content with your peers. Next, identify the scientific problem/question statement as well as the Solution/Result statement, and then try to arrange the statements according to their most likely order in a scientific abstract:
1. Here, we provide a neurobiological account for the hypothesized gender difference.
2. In the pharmacological study, we reduced receptor type-specific actions of dopamine, a neurotransmitter related to reward processing, which resulted in more selfish decisions in women and more prosocial decisions in men.
3. Thus, the neural reward system appears to be more sensitive to prosocial rewards in women than in men, providing a neurobiological account for why women often behave more prosocially than men.
4. Converging findings from an independent neuroimaging study revealed gender-related activity in neural reward circuits during prosocial decisions.
5. In a pharmacological study and an independent neuroimaging study, we tested the hypothesis that the neural reward system encodes the value of sharing money with others more strongly in women than in men.
6. Women are known to have stronger prosocial preferences than men, but it remains an open question as to how these behavioural differences arise from differences in brain functioning.

In your opinion, does the abstract contain enough Background information?
yes, sufficient
no, too short
What do you think about the Results section?
too long, should be shortened
just right
too short, should be extended
