Male and female brains really ARE wired differently: Study finds women are far more affected by emotional images

It has long been said that the male and female brain is wired differently.

Now, Swiss researchers have uncovered another example of how it really is.

They found women rate emotional images as more emotionally stimulating than men do and are more likely to remember them. 

'This would suggest that gender-dependent differences in emotional processing and memory are due to different mechanisms,' says study leader Dr Annette Milnik. 

It is known that women often consider emotional events to be more emotionally stimulating than men do. 

Earlier studies have shown that emotions influence our memory: the more emotional a situation is, the more likely we are to remember it. 

This raises the question as to whether women often outperform men in memory tests because of the way they process emotions.
