... The Forebrain ( see fig. 25.1, 25.5 and 25.7 ) The cerebral hemispheres make up the bulk of the brain mass and sit like a mushroom cap on the brain stem. The surface ( 2 to 4 mm thick) is composed of gray matter called the cerebral cortex, containing billions of neuron cell bodies. Beneath the corte ...

Neuroscience of sex differences



Neuroscience of sex differences is the study of the characteristics of the brain that separate the male brain from the female brain. Unlike sexual characteristics, which are the physical qualities that separate the two sexes of an organism, the neurological differences are not visually apparent and therefore hard to study. Psychological sex differences are thought by some to reflect the interaction of genes, hormones and social learning on brain development throughout the lifespan. Some evidence from brain morphology and function studies indicates that male and female brains cannot always be assumed to be identical from either a structural or functional perspective, and some brain structures are sexually dimorphic.
