Male and Female Brains Aren't Inclusively Different by Lauryn Tsukimura https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb Poster Presentation of Evidence & Reasoning en-us 2018-03-19 17:40:37 UTC 2025-12-18 04:57:10 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padletuploads.blob.core.windows.net/prod/91810442/4eab4ab0d7f4cb776574703dd4e24fd6/giraffe_icon.svg lauryn_tsukimura https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244159039 In a study done in the UK, 500,000 male and female volunteers had MRI's done. These MRI's revealed that males usually have higher brain volume while women have a larger hippocampus. It also found that women have thicker cortices than men (outer layer of the brain that deals with memory, consciousness, language and other functions. ]]> 2018-03-20 17:15:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244159039 lauryn_tsukimura https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244159283 There have also been other studies completed that have to do with smaller scale conclusions. Which means there have been multiple studies done concerning the differences and similarities between the male and female brain. So far there seem to be more similarities than differences. ]]> 2018-03-20 17:15:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244159283 mikayla_stratton https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244643207 2018-03-21 17:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244643207 mikayla_stratton https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244643640 2018-03-21 17:09:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244643640 mikayla_stratton https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244644081 2018-03-21 17:09:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244644081 mikayla_stratton https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244644276 2018-03-21 17:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244644276 mikayla_stratton https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244644581 2018-03-21 17:10:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244644581 In each region of the brain, there are overlaps between males and females. For example, a woman's hippocampus may be larger like that of a man's. lauryn_tsukimura https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244644766 2018-03-21 17:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244644766 mikayla_stratton https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244646015 Women are known to have more gray matter while men utilize more white matter.  ]]> 2018-03-21 17:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244646015 Generally speaking, the hippocampus in females are larger and grow faster. Researchers believe this explains why females have strong social skills. On the other hand, the amygdala and hypothalamus is usually larger in males. These structures play a role in how the body responds to fear/danger, perhaps explaining why males have to move around more and have more assertive behaviors. lauryn_tsukimura https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244647404 2018-03-21 17:15:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244647404 Recent studies show that the different regions of the brain could be smaller or bigger in men or women than the other, but the sizes of the regions aren't inclusive to one gender. Scientists say that based off of this fact, society could potentially change what defines gender. https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244647869 2018-03-21 17:16:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244647869 It was also found that male and female brains mature at different rates. Female brains mature faster. lauryn_tsukimura https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244651990   ]]> 2018-03-21 17:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244651990 We found that the male and female brain overlap and that there are certain percentages that measure the differences... "between 23% and 53% of brains contained a mix of regions that fell on the male-end and female-end spectrum. Very few of the brains, between 0% and 8% contained all male or all female structures... there is no one type of fe/male brain." https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244656082 2018-03-21 17:29:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244656082 mikayla_stratton https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244657435 2018-03-21 17:32:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244657435 https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244660832 2018-03-21 17:37:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244660832 https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244661846 2018-03-21 17:37:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244661846 mikayla_stratton https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244662364 2018-03-21 17:38:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/244662364 mikayla_stratton https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/245645910 2018-03-23 19:32:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/245645910 Our claim should be supported because there is a ton of evidence that prove this to be true, Yes, overtime as people mature, men grow differently than women, and the hormones that go through each genders brain can affect they way that they think. But overall there is too much evidence that shows that men and women's brains are made the same way. We aren't from different planets. mikayla_stratton https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/245646689 2018-03-23 19:35:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/245646689 The brain is essentially the same for both males and females. Some structures of the brain may be bigger/smaller depending on the gender, but of course it depends on the person themselves. https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/246093056 2018-03-26 14:11:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/246093056 https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/246097241 "Brain-imaging studies indicate that these differences extend well beyond the strictly reproductive domain, Cahill says. Adjusted for total brain size (men’s are bigger), a woman’s hippo­campus, critical to learning and memorization, is larger than a man’s and works differently. Conversely, a man’s amygdala, associated with the experiencing of emotions and the recollection of such experiences, is bigger than a woman’s. It, too, works differently."]]> 2018-03-26 14:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/246097241 These differences in structures can attribute to male and female personalities, but it is not the same for everyone. https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/246098112 2018-03-26 14:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lauryn_tsukimura/s8qdu6nrgcdb/wish/246098112
