neuroscience

Neuroscience address all the topic linked to brain’s development as perception,

sensations, learning, memory, movement, sleeping, efforts, ageing and neurological and psychiatric disorders. It

investigate molecules, cells and genes responsible of the correct functioning of

nervous system.

Presenter�




Men and Women are essentially different!

It is not a matter of better or worst: they’re simply different.

Scientist, Anthropologist and Sociologist are aware of this fact

from long period, but they prefer not to spread this information in a word

so “politically correct”...

Presenter�




... But where does this information lead us?

... On a social level, in a field extremely instable...

... Only if we understand the gender differences, we could really rely upon

collective strenghts, winning individual weeknesses...

Presenter�




... Some things are obvious In general:

Women blame men of: beeing insensitive and careless;

not listening; not speaking;

not beeing affectionate or compassionate;

not getting involved in relation searching for sex not for love…

and so many other things…

Presenter�




... Some things are obvious In general:

Men blame women of: beeing bad drivers

not beeing able to read maps having no sense of direction,

speaking too much without getting to the point

not taking the initiative in the sexual sphere…

an so many other things

Presenter�

Until ’80s

It was believed that a child born with a mind like a blank sheet, on which adults could write choices

and preferences

Presenter�




Until ’80s

The byological data we now have present a very different picture of the reason why we

think in a certain way...

Presenter�




Until ’80s

... And demonstrate that the HORMONES AND THE CEREBRAL

CONFORMATION are widely responsible of our attitude,

preferences and behaviours!!!

Presenter�




The cerebral conformation in the mother’s womb and the

effects of hormones determine the way in which

we think and behave.

Equality and/or Identity

Equality of Men and Women is a matter of ethics and

Presenter�




... Their core differences are instead a MATTER OF

SCIENCE !

Presenter�




Everything is in Mind!How brain is analyzed?

The first scientific tests about the differences between genders were

conducted in 1882 by Francis Galton, at London Museum...

The first data on specific localization of cerebral function were collected studying

patients with cerebral damages. Scientists discovered, for example, that man with the left empisphere damaged

had lost completely or almost completely their verbal skills, whereas women didn’t

present so heavy deficit...

Presenter�




Everything is in mind!Women have better cerebral

connections

Left and right emispheres are connected by a bundle of neural fiber, called CORPUS CALLOSUM, that facilitate

interhemispheric communication. The research of the neurologist Roger Gorski of California University

demonstrates that women have a thicker corpus callosum than men, that contains 30% more interhemispheric

connections. Gorski has also demonstrated that men and women use different brain’s sections to cope with the same

activity.

Presenter�

connections

We are still animals!

... If we accept that we are animals whose instinct were sharpened

during millions of year of evolution, it will be easier to understand our basic instinct, and to be more

tolerant towards ourselves and others.

Sensorial Differences

!

Presenter�





Women’s Radar

A women feels immediately if another one is worried or bitter; a man normally needs tangible sign

as tears or scene to notice that something is wrong...

Presenter�




Sensorial Differences!

It is a matter of eyes

Eyes are an exstension of the brain, outside the head....

Presenter�






The retina contains 130 millions of rods (photoreceptor cells), that

provide black and white vision and 7 milions of cones that support

daytime vision and the perception of colour ...

Presenter�






...those cells are originated by chromosome X. Women have 2

Chromosome X, and that’s why they have greater variety of cones than men:

Unlike women, indeed, men cannot distinguish with precision colours...

Presenter�




Sensorial Difference!

Women have a cerebral software that allow for nearly 180° of lateral and above and under the nose vision...

Presenter�





Women have a peripheral vision;

Man, instead, a tunnel vision.

Presenter�





Why women’s eyes see more....

As the brain perceive all the colours of sky, it select only what it is really

important to know: the blue. This narrow the vision to gather much more details

about the environment…

Presenter�





The case of missing objects

Presenter�




Sensorial

Differences

Men

and and

looks...

Presenter�





Why women have a sixth sense...

Presenter�




The increased sensitivity allow women to gather and analyze data and the ability of their brain to transfer those

informations to one emisphere to another make them more proficient in

integrating and decoding signals, particularly visual and verbal ones


Why men cannot lye to women.

Presenter�





Women hear better than men

... But men “hear” the direction...

Presenter�




Sensorial

differences

Why

men

don’t listen!!

Presenter�





Man don’t capture details!

Presenter�





The magic of touch

With a surface of 2 m2, the skin is the broadest organ of human body, in which there are millions of receptor: 2.800.000 for pain, 200.000 for cold and 500.000

for touch and pressure.

Presenter�





The magic of touch

... From birth, women have a skin that is 10 TIMES MORE SENSITIVE for touch

and pression than men.

Oxytocin is the hormone that stimulate the need of beeing touched and the receptor of touch. It’s not a surprise that women, who have receptor 10 times more powerful than

men, attribute so much importance to tenderness with partner, children and friends.

Presenter�




Le differenze sensoriali!

Taste

Taste and sense of smell are more developed than in men...

Men can distinguish in a easier way salt and bitter… from here their passion for beer. Women instead exceed them with sweet taste: this is why women love choccolate and a

lot of taster are women..

Presenter�




Le differenze sensoriali!

Il Gusto

Qualcosa nell’aria...

Not only the sense of smell is more developed for women than the men, but it becomes more sensitive during

ovulation. The feminine nose can capture pheromones and typical maschuline smell, that are not perceivable

consciously
