The study found a greater degree of neural connectivity from front to back within one hemisphere in males, suggesting brains were wired to facilitate connectivity between perception and co-ordinated action.
Women’s brains meanwhile were wired between left and right hemispheres, indicating they facilitated communication between the analytical and intuition, the study found.
“These maps show us a stark difference — and complementarity — in the architecture of the human brain that helps provide a potential neural basis as to why men excel at certain tasks and women at others,” said Ragini Verma, a radiology department professor at Perelman who worked on the study.
