This photo shows precisely how men and women think differently
It is a scientific fact that men and women are think differently. Men are monomaniacs, women are sociable multi taskers.
Now, using diffusion tensor imaging, neuroscientists have been able to map out differences in the ways male and female brains are cabled.
Dr Verma and her team applied the technique to 428 men and boys, and 521 women and girls. Their results are summarised in the two diagrams above, which show connection trends averaged from the sum of participants’ brains.
The zigzagging in female brains helps explain their better memories, social adeptness and ability to multitask, all of which benefit from the hemispheres collaborating. In men, by contrast, within-hemisphere links let them focus on things that do not need complex inputs from both hemispheres. Hence the monomania. These differences are not congenital. Rather, they develop with age.
