摘要: Several studies have attempted to identify the neuronal basis of sex differences in cognition. However, group cognitive ability rather than genuine neurocognitive between sexes may account for their results. Here, we compare with functional magnetic resonance imaging relation gender, individual task performance, and planning-related brain activation. Men women preselected display identical performance scores showed a strong activation right dorsolateral prefrontal inferior parietal cortex during visuospatial planning task. No gender-specific activations were found. different pattern emerged when subjects had execute motor responses problems. Better was associated parahippocampal activations, females exhibited stronger hippocampal males. These findings underline that an individual's level his or her largely determines patterns higher-level
