The eyes have it: Men do see things differently to women

The way that the visual centers of men and women's brains works is different, finds new research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Biology of Sex Differences. Men have greater sensitivity to fine detail and rapidly moving stimuli, but women are better at discriminating between colors.

The eyes have it: Men do see things differently to women

The way that the visual centers of men and women’s brains works is different, finds new research published in BioMed Central’s open access journal Biology of Sex Differences. Men have greater sensitivity to fine detail and rapidly moving stimuli, but women are better at discriminating between colors.

      In the brain there are high concentrations of male sex hormone (androgen) receptors throughout cerebral cortex, especially in the visual cortex which is responsible for processing images. Androgens are also responsible for controlling the development of neurons in the visual cortex during embryogenesis

      Probably not. This happens during very early stages of development. Transitioning shouldn’t have an impact, but I don’t know if research has been done on that.

      No, though brain physiology does respond to hormonal shifts.

      This doesn’t invalidate trans folks. No one says they are physically completely equal to cis people. It just doesn’t matter.

      I must assume this was said in bad faith, if so, stop.
