Women drive safely thanks to hormones

Estrogen female sex hormones may be the factor that gives women caution and alertness after the steering wheel.

Tests by Bradford University (UK) show that women are much better at concentrating and studying law than men. The cause may be the stimulation of a woman's estrogen hormone on a part of the brain called the forehead that deals with related skills.

The team observed 43 people from 18-35 years when they performed a series of psycho-neurological tests evaluating skills such as spatial memory, concentration, planning and motor control. . The results showed that, compared to men, women showed much better ability to shift from one stimulus to another, making it easier for them to perform daily activities such as driving. car and reading book. This also explains why female students are more likely to concentrate in school than men; and why women drive more carefully than men.

" Research shows that the flexibility of neurology biases women more than men, a problem that was not previously considered a difference between the sexes, " the authors conclude. Meanwhile, scientists previously believed that the skills to identify spaces such as map reading are a difficult task for women, since they have few male sexual testosterone in their womb.
