does it "Matter"?
Fark linked to an interesting article describing the difference in men and women and what they are able to process in relation to how they use their brain's resourses.
according to the article they found that men use 6.5 times as much grey matter as women, but women use nine times as much white matter.
Breakdown:
- "White matter connects the brain's processing centres and is central to emotional thinking, use of language and the ability to do more than one thing at once"
- "Grey matter is brain tissue crucial to processing information and plays a vital role in aiding skills such as mathematics, map-reading and intellectual thought"
the article goes on to say "about 40 per cent of the human brain is grey matter and 60 per cent white matter". this is all fine and dandy, but what does it mean when i have 20% grey, 20%white, and 60% paisley???
i like tater tots...
