Then fill in the following questions:

1. Professor Allan Herbison describes how the _________________(brain part), which controls some of our instincts, varies between biological sexes. For instance, in sheep, about _________________% of male sheep's _________________(brain part) look similar to female shapes, which is associated with how these males will only mate with other male sheep. This type of research results are why some researchers believe that at birth, there is _________________ that is going to have a significant effect on the sexual orientation of the organism.

2. Researcher Cynthia Darlington talks about a _________________in a lot of medical research. In early experimental studies, researchers would examine and experiment on young male brains that didn't have any known _________________. Then, they would extrapolate that data onto everyone, applying their findings to females. For instance, female _________________ pills were tested a lot on 20-year old males.

3. Nathan Wallis gets a brain scan using an _________________, which measures activity in specific areas in the brain. While getting scanned, Nathan does a _________________(type of skill) task. The left _________________ lobe activates accordingly, and there is also some activity in the same place on the right side, but less than the left side. This asymmetric brain activity is typical in _________________, according to the researcher.

4. The toy experiment at the zoo showed that male chimps, in general, preferred the _________________while the female chimps, in general, preferred the _________________. This may hint at how this preference is _________________influenced rather than _________________. However, researcher Annette Henderson describes how in human experiments, it's difficult to separate the

biological and social influences (also known as nature versus _________________). One reason is because as soon as babies come out of the womb, they're treated differently according to their _________________.

5. In the ramp experiment, moms were shown to underestimate the abilities of their kids if they were _________________. The moms of the _________________were more accurate in their assessment of how steep the slope at which their kids could comfortably crawl at. This research shows how some adults _________________ from the outside about kids' abilities.

6. _________________(hormone) helps shape the brain in the womb, and is linked to _________________. Both biological sexes have it, but males have a lot more. In the car racing experiment, Emma's testosterone levels went _________________during the race, but Nathan's went _________________and stayed there. Research Paul Hoffman explains how testosterone takes _________________to _________________(lengths of time) to have a significant effect on performance.

7. Researcher Ian Kirk describes how with language tasks, women, on average, perform better than men with _________________ (task) in a certain amount of time. However, a recent study from Tel Aviv scanned _________________(number/amount) male and female brains and found that there was _________________ in almost every region. We are far more _________________than we are _________________.

8. Mani Bruce Mitchell was born _________________, given the biological sex of _________________at birth, but was raised as a _________________after they discovered there was a _________________(body organ). Now, Mani is an activist and counsels _________________, transgender, and other individuals who don't feel connected to the sex they were assigned at birth. Gender identity is not necessarily connected to the _________________. Researcher Paul Hofman suggests that the transgender identity is influenced by both environmental and genetic factors.

9. The total amount of cells in the brain is about _________________, and they function in _________________. Each individual brain cell communicates with about _________________(number/amount) other brain cells. The size of the network in the brain make it more challenging to determine why some neurological disorders are so strongly associated with biological sex. There are more _________________who suffer from Alzheimer's and more _________________who suffer from Parkinson's.

10. With _________________ disorder, biologically females with it have more issues with recognizing _________________, whereas males have more issues with an interest in _________________.

11. Researcher Karen Waldie describes how _________________, a neurodevelopmental disorder, is diagnosed _________________(number) times more in males than females. They use an _________________(acronym), electroencephalogram, to measure brain waves and the time it takes for information to travel between the left and right brain hemispheres. Research shows that sometimes, women are able to process across the brain a little _________________(slower or faster) than men, which could tie into the topic of _________________(ability).
