YES\nhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2004/03/040309073256.htm\n"This particular study, along with others, strongly suggests that sexual preference is biologically determined in animals, and possibly in humans," said the study's lead author, Charles E. Roselli, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, OHSU School of Medicine. "The hope is that the study of these brain differences will provide clues to the processes involved in the development and regulation of heterosexual, as well as homosexual, behavior."

Yes.  This does happen to both males and females.

You remembered it BACKWARDs which demonstrates how men and women think and making it all very simple!\n\nYou see I am male so I have superior spacial reasoning so I got the question in the correct order, you being female on the other hand with better communication between the two sides of the brain, posses a naturally argumentative nature, which resulted in a reversing the facts.\n\nIn women this better communication between the two sides of the brain also results in A LOT MORE TALKING !!!\n\nMen have bigger, less dense, more padded brains thus nature has given man a means by which, if he should become tired of hearing women talking all of the time, can butt the female in the head thus shut her up -- the females get knocked out, the males don't.\n\n\nBy the way, shared experience plays a more dominant role in existing human cultures then sex. If sex were as strong as it is portrayed to be, mating rituals would be more violent, and materialism would be less important.\n\n\n\n"For many functions, it doesn't matter which sex genes you have or from whom you get them. But the Y chromosome itself spurs the brain to grow extra dopamine neurons, Arnold says. These nerve cells are involved in reward and motivation, and dopamine release underlies the pleasure of addiction and novelty seeking. Dopamine neurons also affect motor skills and go awry in Parkinson's disease, a disorder that afflicts twice as many males as females.\n\nXY makeup also boosts the density of vasopressin fibers in the brain. Vasopressin is a hormone that both abets and minimizes sex differences; in some circuits it fosters parental behavior in males; in others it may spur aggression."\n\n"Gur's discovery that females have about 15 to 20 percent more gray matter than males suddenly made sense of another major sex difference: Men, overall, have larger brains than women (their heads and bodies are larger), but the sexes score equally well on tests of intelligence.Gray matter, made up of the bodies of nerve cells and their connecting dendrites, is where the brain's heavy lifting is done. The female brain is more densely packed with neurons and dendrites, providing concentrated processing power -- and more thought-linking capability.\n\nThe larger male cranium is filled with more white matter and cerebrospinal fluid. "That fluid is probably helpful," says Gur, director of the Brain Behavior Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania. "It cushions the brain, and men are more likely to get their heads banged about."White matter, made of the long arms of neurons encased in a protective film of fat, helps distribute processing throughout the brain. It gives males superiority at spatial reasoning. White matter also carries fibers that inhibit "information spread" in the cortex. That allows a single-mindedness that spatial problems require, especially difficult ones. The harder a spatial task, Gur finds, the more circumscribed the right-sided brain activation in males, but not in females. The white matter advantage of males, he believes, suppresses activation of areas that could interfere with work.\n\nThe white matter in women's brains is concentrated in the corpus callosum, which links the brain's hemispheres, and enables the right side of the brain to pitch in on language tasks. The more difficult the verbal task, the more global the neural participation required -- a response that's stronger in females.Women have another heady advantage -- faster blood flow to the brain, which offsets the cognitive effects of aging. Men lose more brain tissue with age, especially in the left frontal cortex, the part of the brain that thinks about consequences and provides self-control.\n\n"You can see the tissue loss by age 45, and that may explain why midlife crisis is harder on men," says Gur. "Men have the same impulses but they lose the ability to consider long-term consequences." Now, t

it's not unsual to have traces of blood on the sperm once in a blue moon...You should masturbate and see if it happens again. At your age I would be cautious about it, since prostate cancer is growing among men. A trip to the doctor is best to ease your mind....

Still studying the genetic link to angelman's syndrome.  From the research I have done, and who knows how much information on the internet is correct but I believe it is a sex-linked gene.

There are a number of surgeons around the world that will change your gender.  The most prominent place for sex change surgery is Thailand, though I'm not sure why.  I had an old roommate who's mother had a sex change surgery there, and apparantly (s)he had a lot of feeling in the new organ and could even orgasm, though there is no way to give you sperm or semen... that is you could never have a child after a sex change.

yes it can be.make sure you keep your gyn appts.\nyour life style is a big plus for not getting that type of cancer!!!\nwtg;not many like you any more.

No it doesn't. There is no relation between oral sex and breast cancer. Not even if you swallow sperm, it doesn't contain a significant amount of hormones, proteins or any substance that may reduce the risk of breast cancer.

I dunno, I'm a cancer but never been involved with a woman who was also a cancer. Let me know if they're good together or not when you find out. Maybe I been missing something good all this time, who knows.

No.  While a tumor can cause a severe headache, the two are unrelated.

i am sorry about ur grief. i will try my best to give the best information i can. but u wouldnt mind if its long enough? do u?\nA brain tumor is any intracranial mass created by an abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells either normally found in the brain itself: neurons, glial cells (astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells), lymphatic tissue, blood vessels), in the cranial nerves (myelin-producing Schwann cells), in the brain envelopes (meninges), skull, pituitary and pineal gland, or spread from cancers primarily located in other organs (metastatic tumors).\n\nPrimary (true) brain tumors are commonly located in the posterior cranial fossa in children and in the anterior two-thirds of the cerebral hemispheres in adults, although they can affect any part of the brain.\n\nIn the United States in the year 2000, it was estimated that there were 16,500 new cases of brain tumors[1], which accounted for 1.4% of all cancers, 2.4% of all cancer deaths[2], and 20%–25% of pediatric cancers[2],[3]. Ultimately, it is estimated that there are 13,000 deaths/year as a result of brain tumors[1].\n\nAside from exposure to vinyl chloride or ionizing radiation, there are no known environmental factors associated with brain tumors. Mutations and deletions of so-called tumor supressor genes are incriminated in some forms of brain tumors. Patients with various inherited diseases, such as Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasia, neurofibromatosis type 2 are at high risk of developing brain tumors.In contrast to tumors originating elsewhere in the body, differentiating primary "brain tumors"—these are the true brain tumors, arising exclusively from cells normally present in the brain itself—into benign and malignant is of relative and limited clinical value, since even histologically-benign tumors grow by infiltration of healthy brain tissue and, in time, tend to transform into malignant forms (anaplastic degeneration). True benign intracranial tumors arise mainly from the meninges (meningiomas; about 95% are benign), pituitary gland (pituitary adenomas) and the myelin sheath of cranial nerves (neuromas or Schwanomas, e.g. acoustic neuroma).\n\nMost primary brain tumors (gliomas) originate from glia: astrocytes (astrocytomas), oligodendrocytes (oligodendrogliomas). There are also mixed forms, with both an astrocytic and an oligodendroglial cell component. These are called mixed gliomas or oligoastrocytomas. Additionally, mixed glio-neuronal tumors (tumors displaying a neuronal, as well as a glial component, e.g. gangliogliomas, disembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors) and tumors originating from neuronal cells (e.g. gangliocytoma, central gangliocytoma) can also be encountered.\n\nOther varieties of primary brain tumors include: primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET, e.g. medulloblastoma, medulloepithelioma, neuroblastoma, retinoblastoma, ependymoblastoma), tumors of the pineal parenchyma (e.g. pineocytoma, pineoblastoma), ependymal cell tumors, choroid plexus tumors, neuroepithelial tumors of uncertain origin (e.g. gliomatosis cerebri, astroblastoma), etc.\n\nFrom a histological perspective, astrocytomas, oligondedrogliomas, and oligoastrocytomas may be benign or malignant. Glioblastoma multiforme represents the most aggressive variety of malignant glioma. At the opposite end of the spectrum, there are so-called pilocytic astrocytomas, a distinct variety of astrocytic tumors. The majority of them are located in the posterior cranial fossa, affect mainly children and young adults, and have a clinically favorable course and prognosis.\n\nIn contrast to other types of cancer, primary brain tumors rarely metastasize, and in this rare event, the tumor cells spread within the skull and spinal canal through the cerebrospinal fluid, rather than via bloodstream to other organs.\n\nThere are various classification systems currently in use for primary brain tumors, the most common being the World Health Organization (W

Well I'm not an expert, but I think it probably depends on the kind of cancer. my mom had bone cancer that spread to her brain, they removed the 3 tumors she had, and they didn't grow back, but new ones did form, probably because of the bone cancer. They gave her 9 months and she lived 2 years, just passed away November 8. apparently, if not for the bone cancer, she would have been fine after they removed the brain tumors.

I don't think so, I know women who want to become men, (transgender), they don't transplant a penis.. so I don't think its possible..

Physiologically, there are no differences between male and female brains.\n\nWhat is different is how they are used, and which side is dominant.  \n\nBut then again, some people regardless of gender, are right-brained.  Others are left-brained.

it's an argument that's as old as it is contentious: that male and female brains work differently.\n\nMichael Gurian, psychologist and author of "What Could He Be Thinking?" believes there are about a hundred structural differences that have been identified between the male and female brain.\n\n"Men, because we tend to compartmentalize our communication into a smaller part of the brain, we tend to be better at getting right to the issue," he said.\n\n"The more female brain (will) gather a lot of material, gather a lot of information, feel a lot, hear a lot, sense a lot," he said.\n\nScientists say males have more activity in mechanical centers of the brain, whereas females show more activity in verbal and emotional centers.\n\nThe differences can be noticed from early childhood, Gurian said, such as when an adult gives a child a doll.\n\n"That doll becomes life-like to that girl, but you give it to a two-year-old boy and you are more likely, not all the time, but you are more likely than not to see that boy try to take the head off the doll," he said.\n\n"He thinks spatial-mechanical. He's using the doll as an object".\n\nTo find out why these differences exist, scientists have taken voyages deep inside the gray matter using MRI scans.\n\nThe scans show that in most women, the corpus callosum area, which handles communication between the brain's two "hemispheres", is larger.\n\nIn layman's terms, it means that the two sides of the female brain "talk" better to each other -- which could explain why studies show women tend to multi-task better.\n\nOn the other hand, the scans show men tend to move information more easily within each hemisphere.\n\nIt all boils down to genes, according to Dr. Marianne Legato Partnership for Gender Specific Medicine Columbia University.\n\nWomen are born with two X chromosomes, and men with an X and a Y.\n\n"And on that Y chromosome are at least 21 unique genes unique to males which control many of the body's operations down to the level of the cells," Dr Legato said.\n\nShe also said those genetic differences explain other differences, like why men can drink more alcohol than women without becoming intoxicated.\n\n"Women do not have the enzyme in their stomach that degrades alcohol which men have," she said.\n\nUnfortunately it doesn't explain why some men leave the toilet seat up, or some women can't take out the garbage.
