Before the holidays, children bring diaries to the house with a statement of their grades for a quarter. You can be sure that girls will get better grades than boys. Why is this so?
The explanation for this is even before birth. This is because the brain develops differently in boys and girls. However, with the necessary knowledge, you can help the boys.
What you need to know about brain growth?
In all children, the brain develops at a high rate. In a few months, it transforms from a cell into very complex structures. In the last stage, the fetus often has outstanding abilities. For example, he can recognize the parent's voice, react to his movements, and kick in response to anxiety. Thanks to ultrasounds, even the movement of the mouth can be seen.
At birth, the brain is not fully formed, and its size does not exceed the accepted norm. The entire brain takes a long time to develop. For example, only in adolescence do the speech divisions of the brain end up. That is why reading is especially important for boys during primary school.
Sexual differences in the embryonic brain are noticeable at the initial stages of its development. For example, girls 'brains develop faster than boys'. Also, boys do not have interconnections between both hemispheres of the brain.
An animal's brain is made up of several parts. In some animals, for example, birds or lizards, it is simpler and the halves are only duplicated. So, as a result of a blow to the head, one half of the brain turns off and the other half turns on automatically. But in humans, the halves of the brain are responsible for their functions: the left - for logical thinking, and the right - for emotions, coordination of movements. Communication between the hemispheres takes place using a special fiber. In a boy, it is smaller, which means that their brain regions are not connected as tightly as in girls.
Various experiments show that when solving some problems, for example, solving crosswords, boys use only one hemisphere, and girls use both. This can be easily spotted with resonance surveys. The tomograph is scattered over the brains of girls, while in boys it is fixed in one half.
