Stanford neuroscientists document large male/female differences in brain connectivity.
The researchers found no overlap between male and female, and rejected the idea of a "continuum."Female-pattern brain connectivity predicted female cognitive function but not male cognitive function.Über den physiologischen Schwachsinn des Weibes
The misogynistic arguments of men from Aristotle to Möbius have made many modern researchers leery of claims regarding female/male differences in the brain. Researchers have long since established that there are, in fact, no differences in average.
Just as remarkably, the Stanford team mapped fMRI patterns of connectivity onto cognitive functions such as intelligence. They found particular patterns of connectivity within male brains that accurately predicted cognitive functions such as intelligence. However, that male model had no predictive power for cognitive functions in women.
These findings strongly suggest that the determinants of cognitive functions in male brains are profoundly different from the determinants of cognitive functions in female brains.Source: Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND license from Ryali et al 2024
