Are there neural differences between people of different sexualities?
« on: 20/12/2016 09:49:45 »
Vanessa  asked the Naked Scientists:
   
I listen to you every Friday morning on 702 and find your knowledge on so many diverse subjects inspiring. At the age of 42 it is such a treat to learn something new from you every week.

I was recently watching a BBC programme called Who am I - Nature vs Nurture and it mentioned a difference in the brain between gay people and straight people. I think it was called area 21. Is this true and is it a physical/chemical difference or a genetic difference.

Thank you once again, for sharing your knowledge.

Regards
Vanessa
What do you think?
