The Myth of the Gendered Brain
b'
It\\u2019s no secret that men and women are different \\u2014 it\\u2019s the punchline of a hundred jokes. But does our sex really show in our brains, or is there something else at play?
\\n\\nGina Rippon, a neuroscientist at Aston University in the U.K. and author of \\u201cGender and Our Brains,\\u201d argues that sex doesn\\u2019t play nearly as big a role in influencing our brains as we might think. Rather, she says, social cues likely start to influence children at very, very young ages - and it is those cues that account for many of the differences we see.
