In response to:
Did you know that woman ACTUALLY has a smaller brain volume than Man, and IQ tests show that on the whole she has a lower IQ than Man?
Just volume is not the issue !
Women's brains are more tightly packed with cells in the area that controls mental processes such as judgement, personality, planning and working memory, researchers have discovered.
Once a team from McMaster University, Ontario, Canada, found that women have up to 15% more brain cell density in certain areas of the frontal lobe, which controls so-called higher mental processes.
The cells are found in areas that make connections with other parts of the brain, such as the limbic system which is thought to play a major role in the emotions.
However, as they get older, women appear to shed cells more rapidly from this area than men. By old age, the density is similar for both sexes.
Hey, you're a truth lover, aren't you ? The fact is: if it comes to brains women are superior to men !
