Men and Women’s Brains Are ‘Wired Differently’
24th January 2014
A US team at the University of Pennsylvania scanned the brains of nearly 1,000 men, women, boys and girls and found striking differences.
My, what a surprise! Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
Male brains appeared to be wired front to back, with few connections bridging the two hemispheres.
In females, the pathways criss-crossed between left and right.
These differences might explain why men, in general, tend to be better at learning and performing a single task, like cycling or navigating, whereas women are more equipped for multitasking, say the researchers in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Whoda thunkit.
But experts have questioned whether it can be that simple, arguing it is a huge leap to extrapolate from anatomical differences to try to explain behavioural variation between the sexes. Also, brain connections are not set and can change throughout life.
Not a quote, but a bald unsupported statement by the writer of the article — after all, a Voice of the Crust cannot let this contradiction of the Narrative go unchallenged.
