The Moments That Make Us Who We Are. Life provides turning points of many kinds, but the most powerful of all may be character-revealing moments.

The best established structural difference between male and female brains is the average difference in whole-brain volume. Across many, but not all studies, the putamen tends to be larger in males.

Yes, male and female brains are different. How brains differ with biological sex is an active area of neuroscience research, but a more important question is why male and female brains differ at all.

The very concept of a "male" and "female" brain has been found to be flawed. A recently reported study showed that every brain is actually a mosaic of different patterns, some more commonly found ...

A traditionally overlooked type of RNA plays an important role in promoting resilience to depression—but only in females.

In animals with social structures, the drive to reproduce is a complex process; governed by the brain, it's influenced by ...

Instead, the variations were distinct from typical male or female brain structures, suggesting a unique neuroanatomical profile rather than a simple cross-sex shift. Importantly, Savic and Arver ...

Scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science recently discovered that female and male brains respond differently to chronic stress. This discovery could pave the way for personalized ...
