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.

All for boob prrocessing

Frog ,

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?

Still can’t find your damned socks though

Socks don’t move of their own accord.

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”.

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

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

… 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).

shyguyblue ,

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.

So, for XX folk, the increased colour differentiation comes from fact they carry two sets of genes that encode for colour detection, and because they don’t encode identically, each set creates a ever so slightly different perception of colour. And when you get two similar, but non identical perceptions of colour, you see more hues

EldritchFeminity ,

I’ve heard that women have more cones in their eyes as well, which leads to a more nuanced sense of differentiation between colors.

women are better at discriminating between colors.

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.

The_Picard_Maneuver ,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

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.

ada ,
@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

You pretty much nailed it

CyanideShotInjection , (edited )

It is possible for someone with two X chromosomes to still be colorblind, but since this gene is recessice you have to have the mutation on both chromosomes, which makes it way more rare.

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.

monkeyman512 ,

At the very least it makes a good exercise in questioning facts to make sure you are not coming to faulty conclusions by misunderstanding.

GregorGizeh , (edited )

I dont think we need to tread so lightly around this topic, since we already know that brain mass does not directly tie to intelligence from the simple fact that women have smaller brains on average but are not less mentally capable than men.

Nobody arguing or even just reading this in good faith would try to frame this as women being mentally inferior.

men have a 50 to 90% bigger genitals. I don’t see anyone talking about that! Also they can eat more because they have 20% more inside space, without fucking uterus and ovaries
