Behavior: Sexual Differences in the Brain

Science News, 110, 6, 91, Aug 76

Early specialization has been demonstrated in males asked to perform spatial tasks. An apparently longer period of female brain plasticity may explain why males have a higher incidence of developmental language problems. (MA)
