Female and male brains are very similar, but on the level of molecular mechanisms, clear sex differences emerge, revealing paths to develop targeted drugs.

You're holding two wrinkly human brains, each dripping in formaldehyde. Look at one and then the other. Can you tell which ...

Important brain structures that are key for signaling in the brain are narrower and less dense in females, and more likely to be damaged by brain injuries, such as concussion. Long-term cognitive ...

Despite the long-held belief that the brains of men and women are not the same, there has been little concrete evidence to back it up — until now. In a breakthrough study, a group of researchers from ...

Are male brains really that different from female brains? Does it matter? Why should anybody care? More than 100 years ago, a German neurologist named Paul Julius Möbius published a book titled Über ...

In a previous article, we talked about how men and women have distinct perspectives and often approach and interpret events differently. It's not that one is better than the other; they’re just ...

Why do women tend to stay "mentally sharp" in their later years? According to researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine, it may be that women's brains shrink at a slower pace as they ...

Orgasms aren’t just for pleasure or procreation. They’re biologically designed to enhance a long-lasting bond between sex partners, a study asserts. Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin ...

Bigger brains suggest better brain health and cognitive function. And since the 1930s, our brains have been growing in size. Now, a new study shows how this is affecting our risk of developing ...
