The way that the visual centers of men and women's brains works is different, finds new research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Biology of Sex Differences. Men have greater sensitivity to fine detail and rapidly moving stimuli, but women are better at discriminating between colors.In the brain there are high concentrations of male sex hormone (androgen) receptors throughout cerebral cortex, especially in the visual cortex which is responsible for processing images.Androgens are also responsible for controlling the development of neurons in the visual cortex during embryogenesis,meaning that males have 25% more of these neurons than females.To see more details visit, www.medicalnewstoday.com
