Artificial intelligence has found the difference between the brains of men and women

The British edition of the Daily Mail reported on a study conducted by scientists at Stanford University using artificial intelligence. During the experiment, a difference was found between the brains of men and women, which was previously unknown.

The key differences turned out to be in the brain network that deals with subconscious information processing, the striatum and limbic network that are involved in learning, and the way people respond to rewards.

Scientists say that according to a study, men are better at telling jokes than women. But as for rationality, the experiment refuted the previously held opinion that these are also the prerogatives of men. It turned out that men are prone to risky decisions, and women to balanced ones.

At the same time, the study partly confirmed the old sexist stereotype that men have better navigation skills. The male brain processes spatial navigation information faster.

But women have better memory. Moreover, women are confidently ahead of men in all memory indicators. As for the claim that women have an easier time learning foreign languages, scientists have not found any evidence in terms of brain function. But they noted that this may be some kind of cultural quirk.

Finally, research has shown that the areas of the brain above the cerebellum in women transmit information between the right and left hemispheres much better. This helps women more easily read emotions and understand other people’s intentions.

But men have more connections between the cerebellum and the cortex on the opposite side of the brain, so they have better motor coordination.
