The Female Brain jellemzők

Did you know that every brain begins as a female brain and that it only becomes male eight weeks after conception? This is when excess testosterone shrinks the communication centre, reduces the hearing cortex and makes the part of the brain that processes sex twice as large. In this groundbreaking guide, Dr Louann Brizendine describes how the uniquely flexible structure of the female brain determines not only how women think and what they value, but how they communicate and whom they will love. Based on decades of research, and complete with fascinating facts and case studies, she also provides the neurological explanations behind why... A woman uses about 20,000 words a day at home, while a man uses about 7,000. A woman remembers fights that a man insists never happened. Thoughts about sex enter a woman's brain perhaps once a day but may sometimes enter a man's brain every minute. A woman over fifty is more likely to initiate divorce than a man... and why? A woman tends to know what people are feeling, while a man can't seem to spot an emotion unless someone cries or threatens bodily harm. With this authoritative, accessible, fun guide, women will discover that they have a lean, mean communicating machine at their disposal - and men will find that they finally have a key to understanding their relationships with women.
