脑部扫描发现---男:优于感知和动作协调;女:善于社交技巧和记忆

标题/来源: Male and female brains wired differently, scans reveal

Maps of neural circuitry show women's brains are suited to social skills and memory, men's perception and co-ordination.

扫描脑部发现男女有别。神经回路图显示女性的大脑左右连接多，适合社交技巧和记忆，更能够同时干几件事。 而男人的神经回路显示各半脑内自我连接多，只在小脑处有连接，在感知和动作协调上有优势(plays a vital role in motor control. 是不是男人滑雪和开车技术好???)。

Ragini Verma, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, said the greatest surprise was how much the findings supported old stereotypes, with men's brains apparently wired more for perception and co-ordinated actions, and women's for social skills and memory, making them better equipped for multitasking.

Details of the study are published in the journal  Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
