Provide evidence signifying that men's and women's brains are different

What will be an ideal response?


There has always been evidence that men's and women's brains are different; autopsies have shown that men's brains are more asymmetrical than women's, and women seem to recover better from damage to the left hemisphere of the brain (as in strokes), where language is situated. Yet, it has always been unclear what these facts mean. Recently, newer techniques in brain imaging have provided evidence that women's and men's brains not only differ in size, but that women and men use their brains differently during certain activities (Debellis et al., 2001; Hamberg, 2000; Menzler et al., 2010; Sánchez & Vilain, 2010; F. Schneider et al., 2000).
