Brain Gender
Dr. Simon LeVay, in his book, “The Sexual Brain,” argues that one’s brain receptors for hormones may also play a significant role in our gender development. Dr. LeVay writes, “There is much to recommend…that there are intrinsic, genetically determined differences in the brain’s hormone receptors. This would provide a mechanism that involves hormone-induced brain differentiation (along gender lines) but does not require there to be differences in the actual levels of hormones, and there is opportunity for selective effects on different brain systems.”
