“This is the first study, to the best of my knowledge, which actually takes into account structural differences.”
“We found that the men had front-back conductivity, but they were on both sides of the brain. … And women had higher left-right conductivity on average.”
“Women also showed that many of their networks were engaged together, in terms of they participated in various networks of the brain at the same time. Men participated intensely within a single network. So if multitasking verses doing one single concentrated task better.”
Male and female brains are wired differently according to a new study. Researchers say this explains why the sexes excel at different tasks. Doctor Ragini Verma, the senior author of the study and associate professor in the department of radiology at the University of Pennsylvania, joins us via Skype from Philadelphia to explain the findings.
