Are men's brains different from women's and if so, in what ways? i.e. Do we process same info. differently?

Women are better at multi-tasking because the two sides of their brains are more firmly connected.  Men, however, are generally better at focusing on a single task because the two sides of their brains are less connected.  I believe the connecting part is called the corpus callosum, but i may be wrong.\n\nRemeber, this is in general, there can always be exceptions.

They don't "think too much", rather they "think differently than we men do".  Because they think so much differently than we do, men sometimes can't understand why they feel the way they do.  Their thoughts seem unnecessarily complicated, and we feel like they're spending too much time on issues and putting too much energy into thinking about it.

They think in a different way than women . They were given a brain and a weenie but the blood count is a little low to keep both functioning at the same time.

Most guys tend to think in terms of logic and act on instinct. Men are problem solvers by nature.

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

we use different parts of the brain than women so we are both complicated to each other the only difference is we are right 90 percent of the time

My first reaction to this was, "What a ridiculous question!"  But after giving it some thought, I guess I would have to say my brain.  I think it would be very interesting for a guy to see how a woman's brain works.  And vice versa, I may add.

My my.. and I'd think that men are sayin the exact same thing..\nWhy in the world are women so complicated.\n\nWell, we seem complicated to each other because we have different ways of thinking, hence its complicated to them because they do not understand how we think, and they are complicated to us because we do not understand how THEY think.

No, men have selective memory loss :) Women on the other hand.........uh............what was I gonna say?

They think the same about us...there is a major communication barrier.  Men and women communicate in totally different ways and therefore messages get misread.

No, it is not true. All of your brain gets used, at different times, for different functions. \n\nHow can it be measured? PET scans and fMRI.

The short answer is 'yes' unless you are referring to sight.\n\nThe right and left hemispheres of the human brain are connected by a huge nerve bundle called the corpus callosum. In the male fetus when male hormones are generated the corpus callosum shrinks reducing cross-communication. Because the left hemisphere deals with logic and the right hemisphere deals with emotion, women connect all logic better with emotion than men do. Although a man can chose, he is always either logical or emotional but rarely both at the same time. A man either flies off the handle or thinks the problem through. A woman can weep or laugh when she discovers something that makes sense. This explains why women are better at nurturing (cranky) children and men are better at hunting for bears (or a six pack).  Of course men can care for their children and women can hunt bare; I mean bear.

Women are Women, the only difference is WHO they are. So to answer your question---NO.

Define different. You could as easily say a different standard is expected of men. The answer is yes, though. Women are expected to behave differently than men. The consequences if they do not behave as expected are often severe...

women think with both side of their brain\nwhile men only think one side at a time\nisn't it great to be a women our brain is working all of the time\nas men only one side of the brain that one reason they never\nhear you when you are talking to them

True. we do develope quicker than guys but not all girls are smarter than guys.

My theory: Only women need both sides of the brain men only use half of it. This is why women are alot smarter!\nBut in other theories: Right Side vs. Left Side\n\nEach side of the brain has its own unique and special abilities.
