ABSTRACT
In the last six chapters, evidence has been presented that (although lean in places) clearly supports the premise that there are differences between females and males in brain structure and function, as well as in susceptibility to neurological disorders and in the effects of neuroactive drugs. Research is progressing, albeit slowly, and the media is starting to take notice. In July 2008 New Scientist published an article, “Sex on the Brain,” in which the author, Hannah Hoag, suggested that the magnitude of the accumulating evidence on sex differences in the brain “. . . is pointing towards the conclusion that there is not just one kind of human brain but two” (Hoag 2008, 28).
