La bataille des cerveaux

Partagez:

Cerveau plus gros ≠ Cerveau plus intelligent! 🧠

Les différences cérébrales entre les sexes existent, mais elles sont souvent mal comprises ou simplifiées à l’extrême. De la structure à la santé mentale, la recherche révèle des informations fascinantes – pourtant, de nombreux aspects de la santé du cerveau féminin restent sous-étudiés.

Plongeons dans la science et démystifions ces mythes! 👇

Note importante : La plupart des recherches sur le cerveau ont été menées sur des personnes cisgenres, mais ces résultats peuvent être utiles à tout le monde. Lorsque nous utilisons ici les termes « hommes » et « femmes », nous reconnaissons qu’ils ne correspondent pas toujours à l’identité de genre de la personne.
