Scientists have tried to find differences between male and female brains
Scientists have found out, there is a difference in the device of male and female representatives of the brain and why a strong and beautiful half of humanity in many ways behave.
The results of a large study, the work of neuroscientists from Israel, Germany, Switzerland and the United States, were published in the edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Scientists have set ourselves the task: to find out whether there is a "male" and "female" brain? It is a physiological, evolutionary and chemical characteristics. It turned out that the fundamental differences in the apparatus of the brain in men and women do not. Thus, the similarity between the two sexes is actually stronger than previously thought.
Used data from magnetic resonance imaging of individual sections of the brain in 1400 men and women. Scientists, in particular, have attempted to estimate the volume of gray matter in certain areas, and compare them. The focus was sexual dimorphism - anatomical differences between males and females of the same species. In the case of the human brain, such a phenomenon may be due to evolution. Men, for example, were able to get food, and it could affect some features of the device of the brain. These "men" of the structure, of course, be present in only one sex.
To the surprise of scientists, no purely "female" or "male" brain structures were found. Experts have compared the human brain with a mosaic of the different features present in one or the other sex. Up to 53% of all of the samples had a "female" and a "male" portion. A maximum of only 8% could be talking about a purely "male" or purely "female" structure.
It is the differences in the brain sometimes explained device "sanity male" and "female emotionality." A new study in the meantime tend to think about the impact of culture and education. One of the study's authors Daphne Joel (Daphna Joel) is confident that the human brain does not characteristic of sexual dimorphism, and the differences in the behavior of men and women were not caused by certain decisions of evolution. Now Joel emphasizes the need for an integrated approach to the study of gender differences.
It was previously shown that a woman's brain in male average less by volume, but this does not affect the level of human intelligence. In addition, it is believed that with age the brain decreases faster man.
Perhaps not everyone agrees with the conclusions of Daphne Joel. For example, a scientist from the US Madhura Ingalhalikar (Madhura Ingalhalikar) and her colleagues believe that certain areas of the brain in men and women in different ways to communicate with each other, and similar differences are very important. Scientists curled that men are characterized by a close connection of front and rear sections of the hemisphere, and for women is visible well-developed hemispheric relationship.
