Research has shown that during visuospatial tasks, females are more likely to activate both hemispheres of the brain, whereas males tend to show a more lateralized pattern of activation, often with a stronger reliance on the right hemisphere for such tasks. This suggests differences in the neural strategies between genders when processing visuospatial information.
