MEN'S AND WOMEN'S BRAIN: WHAT IS ACTUALLY THE DIFFERENCE?

In the brain, the most important organ in the human body, for centuries it was claimed that works the same way in women and in men. Only the fact that the female brain is less interpreted as a sign that the mental abilities of women less.

In the twentieth century found that men and women are equally successful in dealing with all types of intelligence tests, the prejudices about the differences in the values of the functioning of male and female brains abolished, but the secrets of their different functioning has become possible to prove just by using advanced modern technologies.

Different process data

By studying male and female brains PET tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed that in different ways processed stimuli, that men have more connections within each brain hemisphere, and women are the cerebral hemispheres to each other more strongly related to brain men contains more nerve fibers, in the brains of women better neural connections ...

These structural differences between men allow better orientation in space and orientation, and women simultaneously perform several tasks at once, explain the scientists from the University of Pennsylvania, led by doctor Ragini Verma. But the biggest changes in the structure of male and female brains caused by hormones under whose constant influence of the brains of both sexes throughout life.

In the beginning was the female brain ...

Most of the baby's brain development occurs after eight weeks of age of the fetus. Until then, every fetal brain looks like a woman, explains in his book The Female Brain American psychiatrist and neurobiologist Dr. Louann Brizendine. However, an increase in testosterone levels in the eighth week of fetal development of boys that will "unisex" brain into male, destroying a number of cells in the communication centers and encouraging the growth of cells in centers for sex and aggression.

Deep-seated interest in emotions

Male brains, however, will continue to grow, creating more neural connections in the communication centers and areas processing emotions. Therefore, the girls emerge from the deep-set interest for expressing and recognizing emotions. But very little girls recognize fine changes of sentiment in sight, touch and each reaction of those with whom they come in contact.

From each recognized the emotional reaction people in front of me one judge of yourself. From the non-verbal cues reveal whether important, likable or annoying. If the person in front of little girls expressionless, she will think her something was wrong and will try to cause that person any positive reaction. Therefore, girls more often than boys, experience obedient.

obedient girls

At the University of Texas research was carried out on dvadesetomjesečnim girls and boys. In this study, children were left with their mother in the room with instructions that the child should not touch the subject of who is in the room left. The mother stood by and filmed every gesture, glance and word. Only a small number of girls touched the forbidden subject, though their mothers are not explicitly banned. But girls are mother's face looked ten to twenty times more often than boys, looking for signs of approval or disapproval, and their behavior are adapted to read out messages from her mother's face, or from view. The boys, on the contrary, running around and just would rarely look at the mother's face. More often touching the forbidden subject, even if their mother shouted: "No!"

Boys, driven by the male brains shaped by testosterone, had the urge to explore their environment, even if they were prohibited, and girls is an expression of his mother's face or look of disapproval was sufficient indication that the case is not approaching.

Emotions mothers become part of the personality

"The ability to recognize and experience the emotions of other people in the early girls develop a sense of empathy. Although positive in adulthood, empathy female babies for themselves can be harmful. The girls will be, thanks to the ability to experience and connect with the emotions of people around them, connect with the emotions of her mother and her mother's nervous system to incorporate into its own far more than boys.

If the mother is sad, insecure and distrustful, girls will absorb her emotions and attitudes, and they will remain a part of her personality throughout life. So it is possible that the same mother raise two daughters who have completely opposing views of life as they are incurred as a result of the various states in which the mother was during the early age of each of them, "said Dr. Brizendine.

An interesting example of a family with two girls

An interesting example is the family situation presented in the book of scientists. The older daughter of the family was born at a time when the mother was not happy with her first husband, and nothing disturbed her joy and care for the child. Another, younger daughter, was born during the mother's discovery of infidelity first husband, her disappointment and sorrow. After a few years, the mother again in a harmonious marriage with her second husband who is faithful to his mother, and girls caring and a good stepfather but dj
