re: #267 dentate

Umm, no such thing as “white cells” and “grey cells.” The “white matter” is composed of the “wires” running between different areas of “grey matter.” If women had more white matter, they would have more connections between their cortical cells. This theoretically could allow them to think more creatively, or alternatively it might just make them confused. ;-)

One of the most fascinating things to watch is someone who has taken hormones to change sex. It does take a little while, but after a certain amount of time he actually starts thinking like a woman .. and if the treatments are dropped .. he goes back to thinking like a man. Changes in brain utilisation and allocations are amazing stuff. And its all just hormones that make the difference.
