Do you believe men's brains are really bigger than women?
It is the truth that has been scientifically proven. However, the bigger brain does not decide anything.
In an important period of men and women, the bearded men often joke that women's minds are very small and narrow, while the new men's heads are great, deserving of acquiring vast knowledge. butt of mankind.
But you know, it turns out that these contemptuous words are true, at least scientifically. Specifically, a recent study from the Netherlands showed that women's brains are actually smaller.
Men 's brains (left) and females have no small differences.
Specifically, Dutch researchers conducted a survey, with reference to brain scans of nearly 900 male and female candidates. The results showed that men 's brain is usually about 14% larger, while giving better results in intellectual and spatial awareness tests.
However, whether the brain is bigger or not doesn't mean much of what a person's intellectual decision will look like.
According to Dr. Joseph Devlin - director of psychological laboratory from University College London, women's brains are able to handle information especially effective, than those of "big-headed" gentlemen .
Women also practice better in memorization tests. So basically there is no intellectual difference between the sexes. Furthermore, Devlin said that research is not strong enough to prove that men are bigger, which is smarter.
Whether the brain is bigger or not doesn't mean much of a person's intellectual decision.
"The brains of men and women are very different, and usually men are strong in feeling the space, while the vocabulary and words are women's strengths" - Devlin shared.
In another study from the University of California, they also found that women's brains are smaller than men. However, these are very flexible brains, because the ability to process information between brain cells will be faster.
The study is published in Intelligence magazine.
