10 Big Differences Between Men's and Women's Brain
Based on a text by Amber Hensley
The differences between Women and Men Are Not only well-document. Frequently at the heart of the anecdotes, experts have discovered that there are differences in the way women's and men's brains are structured, in the way they react to events and stimuli. So the next time your wife, boyfriend, or parent starts telling you how you should have done something differently, then refer back to these big Differences between men's and women's brains.
1. Human relationships. Women tend to Communicate more effectively Than men, focusing on how to create a solution that works for the group, talking-through Issues, and non-verbal cues such as tone, emotion, and empathy. Men tend to be more task-oriented, less talkative, and more isolated. Men have a more difficult time understanding emotions that are not explicitly verbalized, while women tend to intuit emotions and emotional signs. These differences explain why sometimes men and women show difficulties when communicating.
2. Left brain vs. both hemispheres. Men Tend to better process in the left hemisphere of the brain while women equally well between the two Hemispheres. This difference explains why men develop generally stronger activities with a left brain approach and problem solving from a task oriented perspective while women typically more creatively solve problems being more aware of feelings while Communicating.
3. Mathematical abilities. An area of the brain called the inferior parietal lobule (IPL) is significantly larger in men, especially on the left side, than in women. This section of the brain is to control mental thought at mathematical ability, and probably explains why men frequently in Mathematical tasks perform higher than women do. Interestingly, this is the same area of Einstein's brain that was to be discovered abnormally large. The IPL also processes sensory information, and the larger right side in women allows them to focus on, "specific stimulus, such as a baby crying in the night."
4. Reaction to stress. Men tend to have a "fight or flight" response to stress while women seem to approach these situations with a “tend and befriend”. The reason for These Different reactions to stress is rooted in hormones.
5. Language. Two sections of the brain responsible for language were found to be larger in women than in men, women Indicating that one reason Typically excel in subjects base on language. Men typically only process in their language dominant hemisphere, language process where women in both hemispheres. This difference offers a bit of protection in case of a stroke. Women may be able to recover from a stroke more fully affecting the language areas in the brain while men May Not Have This Same advantage.
6. Emotions. Typically women have a larger deep limbic system than men, which allows them To be more in touch with feelings and better able to express them, which promotes the good relationship with others. Because of this ability to connect, more women serve as caregivers for children. The down side to this larger deep limbic system is that a woman also opens up to depression, Especially during times of hormonal shifts or childbirth such as during after a woman's menstrual cycle.
7. Brain size. Typically, men’s brains are 1-12% bigger than women´s brains. This size difference has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence, but it's explained by the difference in physical size between men and women. Men need more neurons to control his muscle mass and larger body size.
8. Pain. Men and women perceive pain differently. In studies, women require more morphine than Men to reach the same level of pain reduction. Women are also more likely to vocalize their pain and to seek treatment for their pain than are men.
9. Spatial ability. Men typically have stronger spatial Abilities, or Being Able to represent shape mentally and Its dynamics, while Women struggle typically in this area.
10. Susceptibility to disorders. Because of the way men and women use the two hemispheres of the brain differently; there are some disorders that men and women are susceptible to in different ways. Men are more apt to have dyslexia or other language problems. If women have dyslexia, they are more likely to compensate for it. Women, on the other hand, are more susceptible to mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. These tendencies also explain why more Men are left-handed Than Are Women. Also men are more likely to be diagnosed with autism, ADHD (Attention Deficit and Hiperactivity Disorder), and Tourette's syndrome.
