Are the Computers in men and women the same? The short answer is yes. They function in a very similar way but there are some differences. The typical female Computer can work with language at a higher level than the typical male Computer. Female brains have many more areas of that male brains, called association centers, for working with language. In contrast, the male brain has an area for dealing with mathematics and map-reading that is around four times the size of that in the female brain (whether it works better is another matter!).
