Title: A "His" or "Hers" Brain Structure?
Post by: Sandi on April 09, 2006, 01:19:37 AM
Another interesting read on male/female brain differences. An excerpt is below.

Via ScienceNOW Daily News (http://sciencenow.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/2006/407/1).

    Now, a new study is tracing these distinctions in how men and women process emotion to an almond-shaped structure deep in the brain. Not only does the structure, the amygdala, function differently by gender, but its activity in men is also coupled with very different brain regions than it is in women.
