This may help to explain why men tend to excel in tasks requiring more local processing (like mathematics), while women tend to excel at integrating and assimilating information from distributed gray-matter regions in the brain, such as required for language facility.
This has been in the news recently as the liberal press lambasts academic for actually saying the truth, women and men are not more or less intelligent than each other, just different. http://www.newsday.com/mynews/ny-usharv184118427jan18,0,1025366.story

Once again the press has to tell us we are different. All these years they tell us we are the same. I'm so confused.

This can't be true. Liberal academincs keep insisting that there are no cognitive differences between men and women and that there is no such thing as "general intelligence".

Reaching back into my brain for college biology courses, I seem to remember that "white matter" is white because it is sheathed in myelin.
