Brain scientists have long debated when, and how strongly, sex starts to shape the human brain. A growing body of imaging work now points to a clear answer: measurable differences in brain size and ...

Using a roundworm model, researchers have found a collection of genes that change how male and female brains develop and stimulate the start of puberty. This genetic pathway might act similarly in ...

Differences between men and women in intelligence and behaviour have been proposed and disputed for decades. Now, a growing body of scientific evidence shows hundreds of genes act differently in the ...

In a sweeping new map of the adult Drosophila melanogaster brain, researchers at the University of Oxford found that mature neurons still carry a molecular record of where they came from and when they ...

Neuroendocrinologist Catherine Woolley and her team at Northwestern University were studying synaptic modulation in female mice when they ran into some trouble. They were attempting to replicate ...

Male and female brains operate differently at a molecular level, a Northwestern University research team reports in a new study of a brain region involved in learning and memory, responses to stress ...

We are still in a very early stage of effective brain research. There is so little known in comparison with what is yet to be known, a few drops in a vast ocean. As in most scientific fields, the ...

In a previous article, we talked about how men and women have distinct perspectives and often approach and interpret events differently. It's not that one is better than the other; they’re just ...
