LIBERATI wrote and discussed a Thesis on criminal Psychopathies and violent aggressivity; about the paper, she was crucial in preparing the taxonomy and genealogy trees for DAT hetero-zygous rats, issuing from all possible combinations of genotypes for their parents. The construct that PAT males bred with MAT females yield GIX pups and PAT females bred with MAT males yield DIX pups, was solely constructed thanks to her own contribution. - S. ALBANESE wrote and discussed a Thesis on Autism and its environment; about the paper, she was crucial in the original and empirical observations about maternal behavior, on MAT females caring for GIX pups and on PAT females caring for DIX pups, allowing the discovery that not all heterozygous are equal one to another!!!
