Intelligence In Men And Women Is A Gray And White Matter

Men and women have significantly differences in their intelligence. A study shows that women have more white matter and men have more gray matter linked to intellectual skills. A professor at psychology in Department of Pediatrics said “These findings suggest that human evolution has created two different types of brains designed for equally intelligent behavior,” Men have about 6.5 times the amount of gray matter and women have nearly 10 times the amount of white matter related to intelligence. Gray matter represents information processing and white matter represents the networking of connections between these processing centers. This can explain why men are better at local processing, like mathematics and women excel at participating and adjusting information from dispersed gray-matter regions in the brain.
