Brain sex
Description
Busting some gender-related beliefs while supporting others, this program shows that brain chemistry doesn't fit neatly into male and female categories. Five men and five women are put through scientific experiments, exploring major sex-related brain functions-including emotional recognition, empathy, competition, communication, and basic cognition. Candid camera sessions reveal male and female attitudes and behaviors that correspond to the test results-while a scientist studies the brains of a couple who constantly disagree, searching for clues in their neural activity that will help explain communication difficulties.
