>>That one seems odd to me. I don't believe it.<< Crikey, Mq, this is not like you. The mammalian corpus callosum is sexually dimorphic. Google knows. We'll review the correlation between hypothalamus size and sexual preference next. But for now: >>The new data shed light on earlier observations concerning the corpus callosum, a large body of nerve fibers that connects the right and left hemispheres of the brain. Those studies showed that women have a relatively larger corpus callosum than men. The corpus callosum, however, is composed of white matter, the tissue type seen in this study at lower overall proportions in women than men in the brain, suggesting that evolution has placed a priority on this structure in women. "The implication of women having more white matter connecting between the hemispheres of the brain is that they would have better communication between the different modes of perceiving and relating to the world," says Raquel Gur. "On the other hand, men would demonstrate a stronger concentration on working within any one of those modes."<< bio.utk.edu >>Sex differences in corpus callosum morphology (when controlling for brain size) have been reported in the literature. Females tend to have a larger relative corpus callosum cross-sectional area, with a more bulbous splenium. This has lead to suggestions that these anatomical differences are the result of selection on different behavioral abilities during our evolutionary history (Holloway 1983, 1990). A number of recent studies suggest that corpus callosum morphology is related to behavioral ability on some cognitive tasks.<< sas.upenn.edu >>Not shown in the diagram is the corpus callosum, which connects the two hemispheres of a brain. In females this allows multi-tasking, in males it causes drunk-driving.</><< soler.marhost.com
