An experience that I had where I felt that I learned something was when Doctor Kauffman came in and he taught us somethings about the male and female brains such as Females having more Kisspeptin than the Males do and that’s what helps the females and their reproductive organs so that they can have the hormones needed to think and act like females. Something else that I learned from Doctor Kauffman was that a little bit after birth males gain a boost of testosterone that helps the brain develop more like a male rather than not receiving any type of hormones and then ending up acting like a female. Since Doctor Kauffman can’t work on human brains he has tested on male and female rat/mice specimens which help in his research to see how an injection of estrogen or testosterone can change the brain for either the better or for worse. Something else that I learned from Doctor Kauffman was that the human brain has two Amygdala and each is about the size of an almond. Each Amygdala activate differently between the male and female.When a male tries to remember a certain “emotional” event the left Amygdala becomes more active than the right Amygdala and in females the right Amygdala becomes more active than the left side. When it comes to remembering a certain event males tend to remember more the “gist” of said event and the females tend to remember more details, hence giving the impression that females have more memory space than males. Male and Female brains may be similar in some aspects but they are very different once you think about it.
