10 Big Differences Between Brains

Another post from the girl-ology boy-ology workshop I attended at convention!

Differences between boy & girl brains
  1. Human Relationships - Girls communicate more effectively
  2. Left Brains vs. Both sides - Boys use left side more, girls use both equally
  3. Math Ability - Boys have a greater ability, this uses the left side of the brain
  4. Reaction to Stress - Boys fight or flight. Girls tend and befriend.
  5. Language - Larger in girls
  6. Emotions - Larger in girls - more in touch with them. Boys - difficulty identifying emotion.
  7. Brain size - Males have a 11-12% larger brain than females
  8. Pain - Girls experience pain more intently and seek help unlike boys.
  9. Spatial Ability - Boys are better at this, girls use different parts of the brain 
  10. Susceptible to disorders - 5:1 boys vs girls are diagnosed with disorders. Boys are diagnosed more with ADHD and girls are more likely to be diagnosed with depression.
