7 year old boys have as much brain mass as adult women.
How about that?

There are lots of differences in brain volume between men and women, but it doesn't matter because the brain is not the seat of the immortal soul.

Male and female souls are identical, in the quantum realm they're indistinguishable and asexual. It is only by inhabiting a 'body' that social forces shape personality and cognitive abilities. The brain is a red herring which incels obsess over because they have nothing else.

not only that, it's only the cerebellum which needs a higher neuron count with a larger PNS. that is where the brain/body size meme actually matters, beyond that it's cognition.

My brain is around 1720 grams based on my estimations, my neurologist told me that it is far above average as welll.

Unfortunately I have a neurodegenerative disease I have dementia and the neurologist was hinting at this she said I need to keep my mind active with suduko etc.

I used to be extremely intelligent before I got dementia but the disease just destroyed everything.

I used the software 3D slicer, and OsiriX.

I found a set of images where the brain tissue was highlighted then I used 3D slicer to delete all the tissues except my brain the remaining brain volume was calculated in the software.multiply brain volume by density of 1.05 grams/cc

the larger volume brain will have larger surface area assuming similar amount of smoothness or lack thereof. In the scenario that the smoothness of the brain has the same distribution in both genders the result is still men having higher surface area.

I wish they had corrected the volume of the individual structures, because I feel like I'm looking at 16 tiny variations on the TBV graph. It's really hard to say "x specifically is larger in men that women, even when taking into account overall volume differences"

Bergmann's rule explains the larger brain volumes in response to climate, but that doesn't mean IQ scores are solely a function of brain size. Competitive education also plays a role.

>In general, Einstein's brain was the same as all the others except in one particular area - the region responsible for mathematical thought and the ability to think in terms of space and movement.
>Extensive development of this region meant that Einstein's brain was 15% wider than the other brains studied.
>Uniquely, Einstein's brain also lacked a groove that normally runs through part of this area. The researchers suggest that its absence may have allowed the neurons to communicate much more easily.
