Are "Male" and "Female" Brains Different?
WebMD http//www.webmd.com/brain/features/how-male-female-brains-differ#2.........
While the MRI research mainly focused on brain structures,
another Scientist has been exploring the nerve pathways that link them, like a highway system for the brain's traffic."Our studies are finding significant differences in the brain circuitry of men and women, even when they're doing the same thing
It's like two people driving from Philadelphia to New York, who take different routes, but end up at the same place,"
says Ragini Verma, PhD, associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.Differences in their "brain road maps" (scientifically known as "the connectome" can explain why males outperform females
on certain tests of mental skills, while females have the edge in others.Women have more connections going left and right across the two halves of the brain.
This could give them an advantage in pulling together information from different sources and drawing conclusions.
The left half of the brain handles logical thinking, and the right is associated with intuition.Men's brains have more connections from front to back, which may heighten their perception.
Thus they may be more attuned to what's going on around them so they can take action.
Men have stronger connections between brain areas for motor and spatial skills.
That means males tend to do a better job at tasks that need hand-eye coordination and understanding where objects are in space,
such as throwing a ball or hammering a nail.MRIs showed the biggest gaps between the sexes were the larger amount of gray matter women had in their hippocampus,
a structure that plays a role in memory, and the left caudate, which is thought to control our communication skills.
Ragini Verma, (Associate Professor above), found that in female brains, there's more wiring in regions linked to memory and
social cognition.
So is it surprising that women tend to be better at understanding how other people are feeling and knowing the right way
to respond in social situations?http//www.webmd.com/brain/features/how-male-female-brains-differ#2

32- And do not covet (specific abilities/qualities) that AL-LAH has Graced thereby some of you (in some aspects) over some.
(Because) for the men is a (most beautiful and excellent) Portion/Reward of what they earn (according to their specific abilities/qualities
bestowed upon them therein 2/286 = 16/96-97),
and for the women is a (most beautiful and excellent) Portion/Reward of what they earn (according to their specific abilities/qualities
bestowed upon them therein 2/286 = 16/96-97).So (all men and women together, always) ask AL-LAH (in all lawful/rightful Issues =11/46-47) from HIS Grace
--(especially, thus for the benefit of all men and women =humankind here 14/32-34);
for certainly, AL-LAH is Knower of all things.
71- And the believing men and the believing women, they are allies to one another.
They order what is recognized (in the Scripture) and prohibit what is denounced (in the Scripture),
and they observe the "Support-Prayer" (=2/238-239), and they give the "Cleansing-Share" (=8/41)and they obey AL-LAH and HIS Messenger (=i.e. Quran Testament).
So, AL-LAH will have Immense Mercy on them; (for) certainly, AL-LAH is Mighty, Wise.72- AL-LAH has promised the believing men and the believing women Estates with Rivers flowing beneath them, abiding therein,
and clean/perfect Mansions in Gardens of Delight --(to be admitted into this Enormously Vast and Wonderful Paradise =3/133
in a parallel Universe now therein, instantly, at the time of their normal death here 16/32).And the Approval/Acceptance of AL-LAH --(into HIS such Truthful Servants therein 89/28-30
in HIS Most Peaceful & Most Equitable Eternal Kingdom/Sovereignty therein 21/19-20, 26-28 = 7/206)--
is the Greatest (Reward); such is the Absolute Triumph!QURAN TESTAMENT 4/32 & 9/71-72

Brains develop and change all through life, which a good thing because it allows adaptation, but when statistical data, more or less scientific, is used, it does not say anything as to the inherent traits of whole sex. It is always a mtter os statistics,which in itelf doe not say anything inclusiv or excluive to any sex. What is really excusive and inclusive is the rerodutive functions. Those are ot a matter of statistics.
Really all thes efforts to seek predestination byond reroductive functions in each sex are sick and are not at all supported in the Qur'an. The Qur'an says manny things, but it is really a wonder that being the division in two sexes of the species nothing is had from him that supports clear cut differencee beyond the reproductive functions.

in some of what you said nope handshake yes,due to some clear Verses & solid Facts here.

Tale of Two Brains - Men's & Women's Brains
A hilarious description by Mark Gungor's Conference of the difference between men's and women's brains
when it comes to telling and remembering details.https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rww_p8CO37U
though I know nothing about this author (Mark Gungor), never heard of him before, and never watched any of his videos, at all,
only in his short video above, I think he may have --(Scientifically backed up)-- some Truth
in what he is (in such a simple and amusing and exaggerated manner) telling above.Because as we have clearly seen in the very first post above,
women have larger amount of gray matter in their hippocampus,
a structure that plays a role in memory, and the left caudate, which is thought to control our communication skills, therein.So thus, women truly may have much better "memory" and "telling/communicating, in detail" skills over men.
In this respect, we should again also absolutely remember these Verses here
==========
36- When she gave birth to her, she said
My LORD, I have given birth to a female, and AL-LAH was fully Aware of what she would give birth to,
because the male --(with regard to some specific physical/mental/intellective abilities-qualities therein)-- is not
(as capable/good/qualified) as the female. ......
(*so please, see it again, in this respect here, in this Verse =4/32 in the very first post above.)
20- ...... And We have made some of you (=e.g. men or women) an annoyance/test/nuisance (=fitnatan)
for some other (=e.g. other women or men); will you have patience/tolerance (in the face of your such differences
in your basic perspective/attitudes/understanding)?And your LORD is Seer --(to support and help and Most Graciously reward those men and women who have beautiful patience/tolerance,
despite their such differences above, towards all humans and towards each other here 4/149 = 42/43 = 33/35).QURAN TESTAMENT 3/36 & 25/20
Remain in peace/salaam.

What you quote as proof of what you advance in the Qur'an prooves something indeed, but not what you say.
Of course 3.36Says God the male is not like the female, when MARYAM is born. Really what might that difference be? Would a male become pregnant and be branded disolute because of having a child outside marriage? No. Is that different slight? No. Is that difference important as towhat was to become the destiny of Maryam and why? Yes, it was important? So the aya is explained perfectly without tryint to milk from it some esoteric meanings.
And all the other ayas revolve around differences, any difference th there may be between any two eople or many people, be it because of sex or because of vbirth or anything. So no hint there to be had to support brains that clearly as such brains make a difference between absolutely all the women and between absolutely all the men, except those continget to the functions of reproduction.
n the other hand as I say frequently, if we were asked about things that can only be observed in a laboratory, most of us would have to rely on what we are told, but men and women are a thing which we all can observe for years on end at leasure first hand, so we would really be logs uncapable of thinking or feeling if we did not get by ourselves some knowledge, first hand nknowledge of the traits of people, be it concomitant to the sex or the person or concomittant to anything else of the person.
Those findings every so often flung on our face on the wondrous differneces between men and women, again, are merely statistical comilations which by themselves prove very little and oone of the things they usually proove butdon't tell is that there are self-fulfilling "prophecies". What is usually called "junk science".

Males and females are in the bodily meant to complement each other.
