Abstract

Sex differences in the brain may be the basis not only for sex differences in reproduction, gender identity (the feeling of being male or female), and sexual orientation (heterosexuality vs homosexuality), but also for the sex difference in prevalence of psychiatric and neurological diseases ( Swaab and Hofman, 1995 ). In this brief article we discuss a few examples of structural and functional sex differences in the human brain.

摘要

大脑中的性别差异可能不仅是生殖、性别认同（身为男性或女性的感觉）和性取向（异性恋与同性恋）方面性别差异的基础，也是精神疾病和神经疾病患病率方面性别差异的基础（斯瓦布和霍夫曼，1995年）。在这篇简短的文章中，我们将讨论人类大脑中结构和功能性别差异的几个例子。
