Minireview: Sex Differences in Adult and Developing Brains: Compensation, Compensation, Compensation

16 Dec 2003

Abstract excerpt

Despite decades of research, we do not know the functional significance of most sex differences in the brain. We are heavily invested in the idea that sex differences in brain structure cause sex differences in behavior. We rarely consider the possibility that sex differences in brain structure may also prevent sex differences in overt functions and behavior, by compensating for sex differences in physiological...
