Gender Difference - It Begins With The Brain with Louann Brizendine, M.D.
MP3 Download We all know from personal experience that men and women see the world differently and interact differently. Now we know why. Louann Brizendine, M.D. is a neuropsychiatrist who shares some eye opening revelations based on extensive medical and scientific research about our brains and how they function. Brizendine discusses the scientific implications of the evidence that women and men have distinct brain circuitry. These differences are so marked that Brizendine speaks of a female brain, and a male brain. How our brains differ, and the implications for each of us and for society, are the subject of this mind-expanding look at our biology and our behavior. Brizendine informs us,“Females tend to have more brain circuitry for picking up emotional nuance and making meaning of that. [Females] have a much better ability to do what is called memory for emotional detail.” (hosted by Justine Willis Toms) Bio Louann Brizendine, M.D., a neuropsychiatrist at the University of Californi
