The article discusses the neurological differences between men and women, as well as acknowledging other possible sources

such as sex hormone circulation and upbringing which have influenced sex differences. Anatomical differences may have been a result of evolution, as the engagement of certain areas proved beneficial for the different gender roles. Genetics play a key role in the differences between the two, even before distinguishing factors such as genitalia develop. Researchers are looking to utilize biological differences as a possible treatment method for various ailments.

1) Male brains are 8% - 10% bigger than female brains, and more densely packed with neurons. Womens brains are more roomier, which leads to increased neuronal connectivity. 2) Some evidence suggests that brains of male and female fetuses begin diverging even before hormone secretion and genital development. 3) The volume of gray matter in girls brains peaks 1-2 years before boys brains, which correlates to the fact that girls enter puberty earlier than boys.

4) Women are more likely to suffer clinical depression than men, due to generally lower serotonin levels. 5) The largest sex difference in cognition discovered is the fact that males are better at recognizing 3D objects that have been rotated. 6) Women have a bigger language center whereas men have larger mentalarithmetic abilities.

7) Women process pain signals in parts of the brain that handle emotions, whereas men process them in more analytic regions. 8) Women are better at straightforward math while men are better at reasoning their way through problems. 9)When men are at rest, their amygdala is still active (perhaps to be alert for predators or threats) while when women are at rest their left side of the brain is more active.

10) Studies have shown mens cognitive abilities decline more quickly with age than womens.

Men Built for Size: Male brains are 8% to 10% bigger and more densely packed with neurons. Point and Shoot: Even correcting for cultural bias and training, male brains do better at target skills like archery and darts. Math Muscle: Boys excel at reasoning through a problem, but girls shine at straight-forward tools like multiplication tables.

Women Room to Network: Female brains have more space between neurons, which means more connections. Fine Control: Girls do better at skills like putting pegs in holes. Yes, this makes them good seamstresses and also good surgeons. Word Power: Two key language centers are larger in females then in males, giving girls an edge in learning to talk.

On Patrol: At rest, male brains stay active in areas that scan the world perhaps looking for danger.

Minding the Tribe: The left side of female brains stays more alert, overseeing internal and interpersonal matters.
