Study confirms males/females use different parts of brain in language & visuospatial tasks
The study, led by Dr. Laurie Cutting and research scientist Amy Clements, both of the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, used functional magnetic resonance imaging to study thirty adult participants while performing language and visuospatial tasks. Distinct differences were evident between male and female participants. Specifically, females showed more bilateral activation in the inferior frontal gyrus for the language task than males, who were more left lateralized. The opposite pattern of lateralization was found for the visuospatial task, with males showing more bilateral activation in the parietal lobe while processing visuospatial information than females, whose activations were more right lateralized.
“What we found most compelling was that male and female participants performed equally on tasks, both in terms of accuracy and timing; they just used different parts of their brains to get the tasks done,” said Amy Clements, lead author of the study. “This study forms the basis for understanding early developmental preferences that may differ between boys and girls. Future studies based on these findings may help illuminate more about improved special and mainstream education techniques for males and females.”
Uh oh, scientists who state there is sex-specific physiology! Let’s watch for the homosexual response… they tend to not like sex-unique research.

I would expect more squawk from feminists. :)
Indeed! Except the study showed they were just as smart… or would the feminazi’s say the study should have proven them smarter? :)
Pity they didn’t test any homosexuals. The results could be interesting and revealing.
