The female brain also has more wiring in the areas that play a role in social cognition and verbal communication. That may be why they’re better at empathizing with others, have a better sense of what is happening around them, and are richer in their verbal descriptions.
Because there’s less connectivity in the male brain between their verbal centers and their emotions and memories, they’re not as effective communicators, and may be why they also tend to have less interest in such conversations.
During activities, the male brain uses much more gray matter while the female brain uses more white matter. This difference is believed to account for the greater ability of males to focus on a specific task to the exclusion of what’s happening around them, while women are better at switching between tasks.
