Male-Female Brain Differences


Cell numbers -- men have 4% more brain cells than women, and about 100
grams more of brain tissue. Many women have asked me why men need more
brain tissue in order to get the same things done.

Cellular connections - even though a man seems to have more brain cells,
it is reported that women have more dendritic connections between brain
cells.

Corpus collosum size - it is reported that a woman's brain has a larger
corpus collusum, which means women can transfer data between the right
and left hemisphere faster than men. Men tend to be more left brained,
while women have greater access to both sides.

Language - for men, language is most often just in the dominant
hemisphere (usually the left side), but a larger number of women seem to
be able to use both sides for language. This gives them a distinct
advantage. If a woman has a stroke in the left front side of the brain,
she may still retain some language from the right front side. Men who
have the same left sided damage are less likely to recover as fully.

Limbic size -- bonding/nesting instincts - current research has
demonstrated that females, on average, have a larger deep limbic system
than males. This gives females several advantages and disadvantages. Due
to the larger deep limbic brain women are more in touch with their
feelings, they are generally better able to express their feelings than
men. They have an increased ability to bond and be connected to others
(which is why women are the primary caretakers for children - there is no
society on earth where men are primary caretakers for children). Females
have a more acute sense of smell, which is likely to have developed from
an evolutionary need for the mother to recognize her young. Having a
larger deep limbic system leaves a female somewhat more susceptible to
depression, especially at times of significant hormonal changes such as
the onset of puberty, before menses, after the birth of a child and at
menopause. Women attempt suicide three times more than men. Yet, men kill
themselves three times more than women, in part, because they use more
violent means of killing themselves (women tend to use overdoses with
pills while men tend to either shoot or hang themselves) and men are
generally less connected to others than are women. Disconnection from
others increases the risk of completed suicides

If women can communicate better...then why do they complain of "men can't understand"?
