Men and Women Really Do Think Differently By Bjorn Carey Men and women do think differently. The brain is made primarily of gray matter and white matter. Men think more with their gray matter, and women think more with white. Psychology professor Richard Haier of the University of California, Irvine led the research along with colleagues from the University of New Mexico. Their findings show men have 6.5 times the amount of gray matter compared with women who have 10 times the amount of white matter compared to men. ". . . human evolution has created two different types of brains designed for equally intelligent behavior," said Haier. In human brains, gray matter represents information processing centers, whereas white matter works to network these processing centers. This study may help in why men and women excel at different types of tasks. For example, men tend to do better with tasks requiring more localized processing, such as mathematics, while women are better at integ...
And now for the rest of the story: This consensus statement of the Multi-Society Task Force summarizes current knowledge of the medical aspects of the persistent vegetative state in adults and children. The vegetative state is a clinical condition of complete unawareness of the self and the environment, accompanied by sleep-wake cycles, with either complete or partial preservation of hypothalamic and brain-stem autonomic functions. In addition, patients in a vegetative state show no evidence of sustained, reproducible, purposeful, or voluntary behavioral responses to visual, auditory, tactile, or noxious stimuli; show no evidence of language comprehension or expression; have bowel and bladder incontinence; and have variably preserved cranial-nerve and spinal reflexes. We define persistent vegetative state as a vegetative state present one month after acute traumatic or nontraumatic brain injury or lasting for at least one month in patients with degenerative or metabolic disorders or de...
