The researchers acknowledged that the female brain is more efficient male – BBC News

The female brain is more efficient male. This is the conclusion University of California neurologists and their colleagues from Madrid

Scientists studied the hippocampus -. Part of the brain that is responsible for the operational and spatial memory, filtering information on the important and not so. Studies have found that the larger the hippocampus than in males, and it is of neurons, the higher intelligence. However, in women, this dependence is not observed. Moreover, researchers have even suggested feedback: the smaller the hippocampus provides advantages in intelligence

During the psychological tests the female brain is shown to be more effective, writes “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” referring to the Daily Mail.. He needed less neural material to achieve results on a par with men. “In a relatively small hippocampus nerve cells are arranged more densely, and signals are transmitted between them faster,” – said Professor Trevor Robbins, University of Cambridge

Earlier it was reported on a study of Israeli neurophysiologists.. They proved that the overall structure of the brain of men and women is no different. The work carried out by Joel Daphne group from Tel Aviv University, refutes the hypothesis that the brain can be typed on the basis of gender differences. Scientists say that some of the features most often occur in women, some – men, but most of the characteristics – common to both sexes
