Per Dr. Larry Cahill of the University of California at Irvine, "We have
been assuming that the ways in which emotions are organized in the
brain are essentially similar in men and women," but they aren't. Parts
of the limbic cortex, which is involved in emotional responses, are
smaller in men than in women.

Women use the left part of the amygdala - the part of the brain that
creates emotional reactions to events - to put memories in order by
emotional strength, meaning that something emotionally important to them
(like a great first date a couple of months ago) will be ordered in
front of what they ate for breakfast yesterday. Men, however, use the
right part of the amygdala to put memories in order. Traditionally, the
right hemisphere of the brain is associated with the central action of
an event, while the left hemisphere is associated with finer details.


Dr. Cahill is freely speculating.


Prove it dumb ass.
