Men’s and women’s learning styles and capacity

Men Women

Temporal lobe: controls hearing, memory and sense of self and time

A tiny region behind the eye has about 10% fewer neurons than in women

More neurons- language, melodies and speech tones

Corpus collosum: is the main bridge between the left and right hemispheres, carrying messages between them

Less volume the two hemispheres communicate

Back part is bigger so that’s why women use both sides for language

Anterior Commissure: connects the brain’s two hemispheres, smaller and appeared earlier in evolution

Smaller than in women, even though men’s brains are larger

Their two cerebral hemispheres work in partnership on tasks from language to emotional responses
