Researchers from Northwestern University studied differences in male and female brains regarding learning, memory, stress response and epilepsy.
Of course, there are very apparent differences between males and females, but the new research digs deeper on a neurological level. What is known is that brain disorders affect each gender differently, but how biology and culture contribute to these differences has not been known. Researchers uncovered intrinsic biological differences between male and female brains, believed to be the reason why their brains react differently to drugs which target specific synaptic pathways. The biological difference occurs in the molecular regulation of synapses in the hippocampus.
