Daniel Amen in his book, entitled “Unleash the Power of the Female Brain,” spoke about the reason for the differences in female and male behavior. It turns out that women behave in a certain way due to radically different from the male version of the neural network in the brain.
Women and men have approximately equal intelligence. But specific tasks are solved by different parts of the brain. For example, it is better for women to pack things on a trip. This is due to the impressive number of cells that are in the prefrontal cortex and oversee conscientiousness, planning, and judgment. Critical situations provoke men to anger due to the enlarged amygdala responsible for anger. Moreover, in women and men differently distributed white (connects individual segments of the brain) and gray (cells that function the thought process) substance.
Men can boast of a large amount of gray matter in the part of the brain that is responsible for intelligence. That is why they focus on solving one problem and do not take into account extraneous factors when solving a problem. Women, on the contrary, tend to attach importance to side factors due to the greater amount of white matter in the segment associated with intelligence.
More women have more cells in the “empathy zone”. As a result, they are often more likely than men to cry, feeling when viewing a sad melodrama. In women, intuition is better developed. A brain scan showed that during the thought process, activity in the part of the brain that specializes in emotions increases significantly.
It is easier for women to restrain negative feelings, since the area of control of emotions in them is more male. Female aggression usually appears verbally due to the inclusion of a tongue zone. At the same time, the zone of physical activity manifests itself rather weakly. In general, women have low levels of serotonin, which leads to excessive activity of the brain segments that regulate anxiety.
