Larry Cahill, a neurobiologist at the University of California, Irvine, has found evidence that, in some circumstances, people of different sexes use the same brain structures differently. In brain imaging experiments, he asked groups of men and women to remember images were chosen because they produce a strong emotional reaction. Both men and women consistently used the amygdala to complete the task. However, the men used the right of the amygdala, while the women used the left side. What's more, each group remembered different aspects of the image. The men remembered the gist of the situation, whereas the women concentrated on the details. This suggests men and women process information from emotional events in very different ways
