Human brains appear to come in at least two flavours: male and female. Now variations in the density of the synapses that connect neurons may help to explain differences in how men and women think.
Even when intelligence levels are equal, women and men excel at different cognitive tasks. But although brain size and neuron density differ between the sexes, these don't seem to correlate with cognitive differences. So, Javier DeFelipe at Complutense University in Madrid, Spain, and colleagues counted the number of synapses instead.
The brain tissue they analysed came from the left temporal cortex, a region of the brain involved in emotional and social processing, of four women and four men with epilepsy. The tissue itself was healthy, having been removed to allow doctors to access underlying damaged areas...

Gender differences in human cortical synaptic density
Ladies, now you know why men don't get it. They're just more dense.
Getting more good samples shouldn't be a problem. Brain lesions are often deep to normal neocortex.
geez, this is dangerous. According to the gospel of political correctness, there are no differences between males and females, in any way.
