Female brains are more active. We think it's actually the part of the brain that makes you human, because it's involved with executive functions like focus and forethought, and judgment and impulse control.
Ever wondered why women seem to excel at multitasking or why they might be more prone to anxiety? Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen tackle these questions head-on in this episode of The Brain Warrior’s Way Podcast. They dive into findings from the world's largest functional brain imaging study, which reveals some fascinating differences between male and female brains.
The study shows that women's brains are generally more active, especially in the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for executive functions like focus, judgment, and impulse control. This heightened activity can explain why women often excel in collaborative and multitasking environments but also why they might be more susceptible to mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. The Amens discuss what these differences mean for behavior, leadership, and future brain research.
If you're curious about how gender influences brain function and what it means for everyday life, this episode is a must-listen.
