Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Several studies have found that women have a greater density of neurons in the cortical area responsible for processing auditory information. This could be one of the reasons why women are, on average, better at tasks that involve verbal communication, such as speech and language processing. There is no strong evidence to suggest that there is a significant anatomical difference in the density of neurons in the right hemisphere between men and women.
