Research Hit: How Men’s and Women’s Brains Are Different

New research uncovers consistent differences at the micro structure level in the brain

This “men and women’s brain” is a popular theme but a bit controversial isn’t it!?

Yes, indeed, that’s why I did a review in 2022:

One particular researcher, Lise Eliot, has claimed, and written scientific well-researched papers and books, claims, and has claimed for a long time there is not a difference.

And she is wrong then?

Well, yes and no. She correctly notes that many structures that had previously been claimed to be different aren’t really — so some of the old clichés are plain wrong. But as I said in my review this is only half the story — more refined techniques are finding noticeable differences such as in genetic expression.

And this piece just out, that I would like to talk about, tells us also something insightful.
