Today, research challenges this notion. Rather than fixed \u201cfemale\u201d or \u201cmale\u201d brains, the evidence suggests a dynamic, complex interplay of factors shaping cognitive function. As researchers explore the brain, its evolution and ageing in this video podcast, they uncover nuances that defy simplistic gender stereotypes, challenge the myth of female and male brains and embrace the idea of a human brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three days before the International Women\u2019s Day, an international and interdisciplinary panel will exchange around the BBC journalist Tanya Beckett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cat Bohannon (researcher scholar and writer of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catbohannon.com\/home\/eve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EVE<\/a>),&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fhse-en\/people\/anja-leist\/\">Anja Leist<\/a>&nbsp;(professor in Public Health and Aging at the University of Luxembourg) and Anastasia Litina (Professor in Economics of Culture at the University of Macedonia) will enrich the debate with their in-depth knowledge of gender issues in their respective disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scientific research put the light on some gender differences in neurological disorders. \u201c<em>We have a higher risk of women to experience stroke, dementia or multiple sclerosis \u2013 but a lower risk to experience Parkinson\u2019s Disease<\/em>\u201d, illustrates Anja Leist. She also points out gender differences in intelligence tests, \u201ceven if some tests show advantage of the one or other gender on subdomains (such as verbal intelligence, spatial orientation)\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The professor of Neuroscience at the Tel-Aviv University Daphna Joel will be the keynote speaker. The rector of the University of Luxembourg&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/people\/jens-kreisel\/\">Jens Kreisel<\/a>&nbsp;will introduce the panellists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
