Why do men and women behave differently? Does it depend on the structure of our brain, or does our lifestyle build our character? Find out more about the main brain differences between genders in this article.

According to the scientists, an average man's brain is 10% bigger than a female one. Anyway, the size of the brain doesn't correlate with intelligence.

Science Story: Women have more neural connections between the two hemispheres of the brain — shutterstock

Nevertheless, scientist don't know much about the influence of the different types of the neural connections on human behavior.

Science Story: Tissue density of the elements of the brain is different for men and women — shutterstock

Such parts of the brain as hippocampus, amygdala, and insula are built differently in men's and women's organisms. As it turns out, the differences in the emotionality between the two genders can be related to that.

It's a very popular stereotype that women are more talkative than man. Many people believe it's due to the nature of the female organism. But latest research proved this information wrong. Apparently, such a point of view is only imposed by the society.

Science Story: Male and female brains are differently affected by the hormones — shutterstock

Unlike the structure and the size of the brain, male and female hormones CAN affect our behavior. Anyway, there is still no exact information about this, and many scientists are constantly studying the correlation between hormones and the human mind.

And it's somehow connected with the brain structure. Neurobiologists are still studying this issue, which may result in a better approach to psychotherapy.

Science Story: The structure of the brain doesn't determine the essence of our personality — shutterstock

Human brain is one of the most complicated structures in the universe. A lot of mysteries of the brain still remain unsolved. We should always remember that the character of a modern person is formed by education, society and general state of health. As the saying goes, "You are your brain, so don't blame your brain". Do you agree?

Will not comment on this cannot make me. The biting of the tongue is really starting to hurt.

I dont think we learned much. Superficial article. Nothing in deph.

Peggy Layton

Glad you said men’s brains are larger , it takes larger brains to write this nonsense .It took me precisely one minute to read it and my female brain ain’t buzzing yet !.

grewalsohinder

What was the article all about? Nothing concrete was shared. Learnt nothing

garrett scott

It did not appear to me that anything in the information affirmed differences between the male brain and female brain except size which apparently does not make a difference in function. I found the title very misleading.

Wayne Roberts

Just because we are different, doesn’t mean we are not equal!

terribokor

Some good information but not in depth

Linda Phillips Schubert McLeod

Who wrote this article...a man or a woman? Doesn’t matter because this is the same old stuff we have heard all of our lives.

Frederick Zinos

My wife says I don't pay attention to what she says, or something like that.

Cathie Roth Lonnquist

I was hoping this presentation would do something to explain how the differences between male and female brain structure affects behavior of the two sexes but apparently it doesn't. This turned out to be a tease and I don't know why you presented what you did.

Theresa Verver

John Stepp, Equal but different!

Donna Gilbert Baker

John Stepp, don't tell a LIBERAL that/they will bust a gut

Another example of “we are studying but do not really Know what is going on”.

Linda Spreng

Yeah, and men are more logical than women ... HAH! So it's like a bunch of statements not proven by any scientific studies. All these statements end up basically saying ... but we have no proof of that. And the point of this little exercise is???? There's 5 minutes of my life I'll never get back!
