Neuroscience of sex differences by Wiki

Home Care California | The Best Home Care Services

Neuroscience of sex differences is the study of the characteristics of the brain that separate the male brain and the female brain. Psychological sex differences are thought by some to reflect the interaction of genes, hormones and social learning on brain development throughout the lifespan.

Some evidence from brain morphology and function studies indicates that male and female brains cannot always be assumed to be identical from either a structural or functional perspective, and some brain structures are sexually dimorphic.[1][2]

Experts note that neural sexual dimorphisms in humans exist only as averages, with overlapping variabilities;[3][4] that it is unknown to what extent each is influenced by genetics or environment, even in adulthood;[4][5][6] and that it is impossible to identify whether a given human brain is from an XX or an XY solely by examination of its anatomy.[4]
