Men’s brains are a lot more quiet.
One pattern is not better than the other; they are just different.
Men tend to have a sleepier prefrontal cortex.
The PFC plays an important role in forethought, follow-through, and impulse control.
Women have more active emotional brains.
The anterior cingulate gyrus works differently in men and women.
Within the brain’s frontal lobes is an area called the ACG.
Known as the brain’s gear shifter, it helps you shift attention and recognize errors.
It is also one of the brain’s worry centers.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that men don’t worry or see problems.
But men and women tend to worry differently.
Men’s worries are more likely to be confined, and they are able to compartmentalize their problems.
The brain’s visual and coordination centers are more active in men.
This may explain why men generally might be more adept at judging distances, for example.
Women’s intuition lies in the brain, not in the gut.
The insula is larger in women than in men.
Intuition enables women to quickly grasp information that may not be obvious or easy to justify through logic.
