Each brain may be tuned to the physiological differences between sexes, but in function each seems quite analogous and almost eerily similar. I always thought that sex is not much of a determinant of mental function, since humans share most every known weakness in normal brain functions. Perhaps brains are a homogenous organ. Not in function, but in physiology.
It makes me question if the left/right organization of mental processing is really related to sex.
Not disagreeing with you, just noting that's new to me.
(And I recognize that there is a difference between brain and 'mind'... another wrinkle in my understanding.)
And since I'm not ego driven, I can freely admit I could be wrong.
I'm not ego driven either Max. I don't mind being wrong at all. It means that I've learned something.
I've merely suggested the corpus callosum being thicker (if it is) might infer a difference in the relationship between the two halves. Bearing in mind that there are differences in functionality between said halves.
I saw a study suggesting that an explanation for the thicker corpus callosum in women might be due to the smaller brain size. I'm not sure why that would be though.
