Essay On Human Brain

Introduction

The human brain plays a big role in the functioning and co-ordination of the body. The human brain is divided into three key parts namely the fore brain, midbrain and hind brain. The average weight of the human brain is about 1.5 kilograms. The cerebrum is the major part of the human brain. Below the cerebrum is the brainstem and underneath the brainstem is the cerebellum. The male and female differ in a number of ways ranging from size, genetics, location, specialisation, connections among other differences. The differences are critical in the different ways men and women differ while they respond to a problem, what they think and what they talk.

The following are the differences between the male and female brains.

White matter and gray matter

It is estimated that males have about 6.5 times more of gray matter than women. On the other hand, it is also estimated that women have 10 times more white matter their male counterparts. The disparity in the amounts of gray and white matter results to the different manner in which men and female differ in their thinking. In thinking males exploit the gray matter that is enriched by dynamic neurons. In contrast women utilize the white matter that is made up of connections between the neurons. This explains why the female brain is complicated in its setup and this complication gives it an upper hand in faster thinking than the male. This explains why women utilises their white matter to compete and express in a better manner whereas males are better in expression of skill than females. Studies suggest that if females and males are given a task to perform females would respond to the task by avoidance of negativity while males will do an evaluation of the long term impacts and o...

...actical and in most cases they perform better than females in practical work.

Limbic brain

The limbic brain plays a vital role in sexual asymmetries and the emotional functioning of the brain. The part of the brain coordinates the limbic system is called Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex (VPMC). Similarly, the right VPMC is more concentrated in males whereas the left VPMC is more dominant in females. This indicates why there is a variation and difference in the manner in which females express their emotions as opposed to their male counterparts.

Conclusion

The difference in male and female sizes ensures that both men and women have variations in behaviour and handling of tasks. The variations help in the coexistence between a man and a woman and also complimenting of each other. At no point will one gender be perfect and, in fact, both the man and woman are equals.
