Human Brains Not Distinctly Male Or Female

After identifying the elements, her team started observing whether men tended to have the male elements and women the female elements. Although everything can be applied, debated, accepted or rejected in life, science has come to one clear distinction when it comes to men’s and women’s brain and that’s weight, in favour of men (8 to 13%). “Each brain is a unique mosaic of features, some of which may be more common in females compared with males, others may be more common in males compared with females, and still others may be common in both females and males”.

Lead researcher at Tel Aviv University’s Daphna Joel says these findings just go to show that we shouldn’t continue to separate the genders like they’re inherently different, especially since according to this study, even from a scientific perspective, they’re not.

All the human brains that were analysed were then distributed in one of the three categories: predominantly male, predominantly female, and of course the intermediate stage.

The study found that there was no correlation between regions, meaning that being good – or not so good – at one thing did not necessarily mean you had an overall “male” or “female” brain. A study of over 1,400 MRI scans showed the biological gender differences do not manifest in the brain.

A new scientific study has revealed that male and female humans do not have gender-specific brains, but instead are a random hodgepodge of male-like and female-like features.

The Times reports researchers took the study even further-looking at the prevalence of all-male or all-female thoughts and behaviors-and came to the same conclusion.

Is your brain male or female? The researchers said if there are indeed individuals with an all-male traits or all-female traits, they are very, very rare.

Next, the researchers followed the same steps with other sets of brain scans that measured the thickness of gray matter in the outer layer of the cerebrum, the connections between different parts of the brain, and other features. For example, a survey of college students regarding 10 “highly gender-stereotyped activities” found only 1.2% of students had exclusively male or exclusively female interests. The male and female brain test proved that there are both female and male traits in a brain.
