Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Researchers have discovered that the corpus callosum, which connects the two hemispheres of the brain, is larger in adult females than in adult males. This suggests that women have a greater capacity for integrating and exchanging information between the two hemispheres. There is no consistent evidence for differences in brain size or structure between adult males and females in the hippocampus, amygdala or left hemisphere.
