Sex and the Developing Brain, Second Edition by Margaret M. McCarthy, Ph.D.English | PDF (True) | 2017 | 156 Pages | ISBN : 161504728X | 4.96 MB
The brains of males and females, men and women, are different, that is a fact. What is debated is how different and how important are those differences. Sex differences in the brain are determined by genetics, hormones, and experience, which in humans includes culture, society, and parental and peer expectations. The importance of nonbiological variables to sex differences in humans is paramount, making it difficult if not impossible to parse out those contributions that are truly biological.
