摘要

You may have read that having a male brain will earn you more money. Or maybe that female brains are better at multitasking. But there is no such thing as a female or male brain, according to the first search for sex differences across the entire human brain. Scans of 1400 brains reveal most have a mix of male and female features. The work also supports the idea that gender is not binary, and that gender classifications in many situations are meaningless (see Comment, far right).
