A professor has been forced to apologise after showing students an 'insidious' cartoon of the female brain
Professor John Paul Leach, a neuroscientist and professor at the University of Glasgow, showed students cartoon diagrams of both the male and female brains, MailOnline reports.
It also showed much smaller segments of the cartoon brain with labels including 'sex initiator gland', 'driving skills' and 'realisation of wants and needs'. A spokesperson for the Scottish Feminism Network said the pictures went "way past banter" and they they could "cause serious long term consequences".
Professor Leach said he "apologised personally and unreservedly" for the use of the cartoons in 2017.
