TIL: males have 25% more neurons in the visual cortex than females

The eyes have it: Men do see things differently to women

The way that the visual centers of men and women's brains works is different, finds new research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Biology of Sex Differences. Men have greater sensitivity to fine detail and rapidly moving stimuli, but women are better at discriminating between colors.

But they still can’t see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch…

Well I’m red-green colorblind so I never stood a chance anyway. If it isn’t in a box of 8 crayons/markers, I don’t attempt to use that color’s name generally, cuz I will never pick the right shade. All the fuschias, magentas, maroons, burnt siennas, teals, cyans, etc. of the world can fuck off.

Isn’t colorblindness almost exclusively found in males too?

Probably oversimplifying, but it’s something about the mutation being on the X chromosome, meaning women have a backup X and men don’t.

… Men are also ~20% larger than women on average. Is this count standardized by size of the person?

BearOfaTime ,

That would be an interesting metric, though I’m not sure it would really mean anything.

L0rdMathias , (edited )

Does that include brain size? I mean yeah the total sum of all size comparisons is 20% larger, but like piece per piece that ain’t remotely true (see boobs for an example that defies the total average).

and yet I still miss things right in front of my face

All for boob prrocessing

Hmm… Men are more excited through visuals while women are more excited by touch.

I’m not actually sure if you are joking.

They can also process boobs if they’d like to

There have been some pretty interesting accounts of what it’s like to start testosterone. Vivid visual sexual fantasies and the like. Gives a new perspective on what being soaked in testosterone for decades does to your brain.

I’ll see if I can find some when I’m not on mobile.

You find testosterone better when not on mobile?

Anecdotal proof time:

My dad’s truck.

Me, my brother, brothers’ friend and brothers’ friends’ sister, all XY, all see a greenish gray truck.

My mother, sister-in-law, brothers’ friends’ wife, all XX, all see a dark green truck.

Then how do they disappear from the dryer?

I need to see your clearance from at least one of three or four three letter agencies before I can tell you the real answer.

They become Tupperware lids

Lost_My_Mind ,

Ew…take it from experience. Never use a mans sock as a tupperware lid. Even if it’s “clean”.

pennomi ,

Men’s vision is movement based, just like T-rex.

antmzo220 , (edited )

But our girlfriends can, because she can distinguish the sock colour from the floor colour easier…nature, it just works.

Taleya ,

So what i’m hearing is that i should attach all items my husband regulalrly loses track of to a moving object to play into his sight strengths. Basket on the ceiling fan it is

monkeyman512 ,

Does this mean the visual center is 25% larger or that the configuration of cells is different? If it is larger where are are women’s brains larger then men’s brains?

L0rdMathias ,

It means there are 25% more, but neurons aren’t the only thing the brain is made of. Idk how much of a size difference, if any, this makes. Considering how sensitive lips and fingers are compared to equal sized parts of your skin in other areas, there might be a similar situation of just having a lot of space in the total structure for extra neurons. It could be a small increase in size, it could have no impact on size, more studies required.
