GENDER MOSAIC

Why there is no such thing as a male or female brain and therefore, no neurological basis for differentiating people based on sex.

For generations we've been taught that the brains of men and women differ in profound and important ways. According to this myth, the female brain has large communication and emotion centres, and the male brain has a large sex centre and a large aggression centre. But is it actually true?

According to neuroscientist Professor Daphna Joel, it's not. Drawing on the ground-breaking results of her own studies and the latest scientific evidence, Professor Joel explains that every individual human brain is actually a unique mixture or mosaic of 'male' and 'female' features, and that these features don't map neatly into two categories. THE BRAIN MOSAIC is a fascinating look at the science of gender!

Professor Daphna Joel is presently the Chair of the PhD committee at the School of Psychological Sciences. Dr. Joel has combined her expertise as a neuroscientist with her interest in gender studies to revolutionize the fields of sex, brain and gender.
