Although it is true that in recent years numerous studies have been done and research on the human brain, it is true that we still have much to know.And although there are no major differences between the male and female brain, of those that establish different and definitive behaviors, if there are indications that the brain of men has its peculiarities.

Of course you also have to understand that, like that of women, their brain changes over time, and that there is nothing more shocking than typecasting and qualifying people .Therefore, to understand the brain of men from a feminine point of view, we offer you these interesting facts.

10 facts about the brain of men to take into account

1.Solutions, not problems!

Something we differentiate ourselves in is e n the way of dealing with conflicts .We cannot generalize naturally, but men tend to focus more on how to solve them.

10 facts about the brains of men to keep in mind

That happens because the male empathic system does not respond when someone expresses their problems or gets stressed and, consequently, “they care more about solving them than showing solidarity,” as explained by Dr.Louann Brizendine, author of the book The Brain masculine .

2.They are more vulnerable to loneliness

Mature men are especially sensitive to the effects of loneliness; They tend to seek less help than women, and that aggravates the sensation and affects the social circuits of men's brains.

From a social point of view, the fact that a man lives with a woman can be quite useful: it tends to be healthier, live longer and suffer less anxiety.

3.More emotional?

Even if you don't believe it.Women in general, we consider ourselves more sentimental ( again, not all or in all cases), but an interesting fact is that young children , for example, can be more expressive and emotionally reactive than girls the same age.

At the University of Lund, in Sweden, a study was made in 2008 where it was shown that adult men can have somewhat more emotional reactions, until they rationalize their feelings: when the emo cion to consciousness, the general behavior is “nothing happens here.”

Perhaps it is due to learned cultural behaviors, since from the very young men are taught to hide emotions However, suppressing reactions can be very useful in handling threats, for example.

4."This is mine"

Dr.Brizendine states that evolutionarily speaking, man has always defended his territory, and it has been observed that the brain region that is dedicated to this is larger in several species of mammals.

Psychology indicates that this behavior could explain that , although women tend to be more possessive, in fact men lose their heads more if their territory or their love life is threatened.

5.Men's brain, impulsive

The levels of testo Sterona in men are six times older than in women .This is logical, since this hormone is essentially male.Panjal Mehta, a social psychologist at Columbia University in New York, points out that the Testosterone could be responsible for some damage in the impulse control region in the brains of men, and perhaps this explains why men look at women as a “pilot automatic.”

6.Time, the greatest ally

The greatest ally to mature.Evolutionarily, men are competitive: with competition, they gain status and life partners, and they help create extremely valuable cooperation ties.

However, as time goes by, men focus more on their personal relationships and on improving their community, than on the need for leadership when they were younger.

Dr.Mehta indicates that it could be due to the natural decrease in testosterone.

7.Chain of command

According to Dr.Brizendine , a stable hierarchy usually causes remarkable anxiety in the brains of men, not the structured chain of command, as in the army, which reduces testosterone and aggression.Perhaps this explains the incredible proliferation of the armies throughout of human history.

8.Marriage? Yes, I accept

One of the most common topics among men and women is that women want to settle and men run away from compromise, although it is true that infidelity is more common among Men under 30 years of age, after that age, focus more on their relationships as a couple and family.

Of course, if you have the" promiscuity gene ", which affects about 40% of the male population will cost you a little more to commit, and your tendency to be unfaithful would be genetic.The rest of the men marry and have a pleasant and satisfying life with their partners.

9.I want to be a father

During the couple's pregnancy, men's brains begin to prepare to cooperate: they also undergo hormonal changes, prolactin goes up and testosterone goes down, all of which goes shaping the ground for paternal behavior.This was discovered by a study on evolution and human behavior.

Although they cannot assure it, in this study they indicate that male behavior changes due to the pheromone effect of the pregnant woman.

10.Play with the children

This can also be a trait of the brain of men, the playful participation with their children. male games are more rude and spontaneous , and it is proven that they help children to be safer, to learn better and to prepare for the real world.

10 facts about the brains of men to keep in mind

The father figure that plays plays an invaluable role in the emotional development of the children, and it has been observed that these parents with “active parenthood” reflect lower levels of testosterone (in various cultures).

C As human "puppies" are the most vulnerable and in need of care throughout the animal kingdom, the brains of men assume this as a strategy to optimize the survival of the species.

However, and despite To all of the above, we must be clear that both the culture and the education received influence male behavior , and that these traits do not always appear in a remarkable and visible way.We invite you to read Man with 106 children.
