Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Centre have recent-
ly reported that, relative to cranial volume, women’s brains have a higher
proportion of gray matter (which facilitates computations) while men have
a higher proportion of white matter (which facilitates communication be-
tween groups of cells in different areas of the brain). Studies also show that
women have a thicker corpus callosum, which is composed of white matter,
connecting the right and left brains, allowing them to integrate their right
and left brains better. The corpus callosum, however, is composed of white
matter. Women are therefore superior in their capacity to communicate be-
tween the different modes of perceiving and relating to the world, according
to Kristine Hoeldtke.27
