Men have more Brain Cells than Women
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) -- Danish researchers say they've found
that men, on average, have about 4 billion more brain cells than
women. But they haven't figured out what men do with them.
Bente Pakkenberg, a Copenhagen Municipal Hospital neurologist
who led the research project, told Danish radio Monday that the
conclusions came from an examination of the brains in 94 cadavers
of people aged 20 to 90.
The average number of brain cells in males was 23 billion,
while the female average was about 19 billion, she said.
Asked what the males might be doing with the surplus,
Pakkenberg said: "Right now it's a mystery."
"The knowledge we already have shows men are not smarter than
women," she said.
