Take-away point of my conference today:
It appears that sex differences in brain organization may REDUCEsex differences in brain output — i.e. behavior, cognition, even hormone balance.Please keep it in mind when you see headlines like “men have larger spatial reasoning centers” or “women show more activity in empathy centers”, etc. Because of our gonadal hormone differences, the processes involved in performing the same actions may need to be wildly different.
They do not necessarily imply superiority/inferiority, or even innate, permanent differences!
