[QUOTE="tansy, post: 72003071, member: 210572"] Thanks...yes, I didn't think that it was quite as straightforward as what I put...and of course, I couldn't remember all the exact details of what I had read. But I do think it is fair to say that women's and men's brains do seem to 'work' slightly differently...or at least we tend to be different in the way we think or approach things. For example, I have noticed (but of course this my subjective observation, not a scientific study), that men seem to be much more direct than women (I am aware this is a generalisation). Lots of men seem to look straight ahead and want to get from A to B by the most direct route and don't seem to notice anything peripherally. Whereas women seem to think around things more and perhaps notice other things. Perhaps this is why men can drive women bonkers and vice-versa (I know I drive my husband bonkers and vice-versa LOL. He tends to say (kind of jokingly) that I 'm not looking at something logically. But I tell him that my way of thinking or working things out is perfectly logical to me...it's just perhaps that I take a more roundabout route - perhaps men 'cut to the chase' more). What I do find interesting is that, apparently, sometimes when people get some kind of brain damage, often the neural 'whatevers' can kind of reroute and reconnect somehow, so that the person can carry on functioning (or at least get some function back).
