Lecture Title: Biological Psychology/ Neuroscience: Male vs. Female Brain

In this taster lecture, we will explore the fascinating topic of sex differences in brain structure and function. We will examine how male and female brains differ in areas such as anatomy, neural connectivity, and hormonal influences. Through the analysis of case studies, we will investigate how these differences impact cognitive abilities, emotional processing, and behaviour in everyday life.
