The most debated topic ever is the difference between men and women. This is the kind of argument that doesn't have any resolution. We have to face the fact that men are really from Mars and women are from Venus. The difference between the sexes is undeniably big, like the amount of testosterone and estrogen they produce.
Some people became stereotypes and think that males are stronger or that females are stronger, depending on their beliefs. Many have attempted to explain the exact difference and the best part to look at would be the brain. According to Medical Daily, there is an attempt to examine the brain and find solid and physical evidence that could show the difference between the male and female brains that they hope could explain any behavioral difference.
The Hippocampus is the crucial part if the brain which was thought to be larger in females than males. This idea is not correct, in fact, there is no difference between the male and female hippocampus. Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science did a research that showed no significant difference between the sizes for both sexes. Associate Professor of Neuroscience at the University's medical school, Dr. Lise Elliot, headed a team in an analysis of the structural MRI volumes, meaning that they combined the findings from many independent studies into one review. The team of researchers looked at 76 papers for their findings.
She said sex difference in the brain is irresistible to those looking to explain stereotype differences between men and women. They often make a big impact even if it was only based from small samples. She added that as the team explore multiple data samples, they found these differences often disappear or trivial. There are two hippocampi in the human brain, one on both sides of the brain beneath the cerebral cortex.
The structure is commonly associated with memory, spatial navigation, and inhibition. Previously, a common theory claimed that a disproportionately large hippocampus explains females' tendency toward stronger interpersonal skills, emotional expressiveness, and better verbal memory. There is no difference in the size of the white matter that allows the two sides of the brain to communicate, nor do men and women differ in the way their two brain hemispheres process language.
