A team of experts led by Srikanth Ryalia published the latest research in the “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” on the differences in the structure of the brain of women and men. As it turns out, gender influences the processes that take place there.
What are the differences between a woman and a man? It’s not just about physicality
Gender has great importance in terms of our behavior, but also in our perception of the world. Women are more often guided by empathy, have better language skills and more analytical thinking, thanks to the fact that they have a more developed lower frontal area of the left hemisphere. Men are better at visual-spatial orientation, which is the responsibility of the right hemisphere of the brain, but there are more differences.

As argued by a psychiatrist from Stanford University, Vinod Menon, who is one of the authors of the study, differences in the structure of brains are so significant that they influence many disorders. – Identifying reproducible sex differences in the healthy adult brain is a critical step to a deeper understanding of sex-specific vulnerabilities in psychiatric and neurological disorders – . The expert also adds that the differences result in susceptibility to other diseases. Women are more likely to suffer from eating disorders and anxiety disorders, while men are more likely to suffer from schizophrenia.
What is the difference between a man’s brain and a woman’s brain? It influences decision-making
The female brain is smaller than the male brain, but the number of nerve cells is the same. However, women have more gray matter and men have more white matter. What does it mean? Both genders make decisions differently. In men, the left hemisphere dominates when taking action, in women, both hemispheres work. – We can therefore say that men “speak” only with the left hemisphere – he explains in an interview with prof. Piotr Gałecki, national consultant in the field of psychiatry.
