@theexperimentalist,
I’m afraid I don’t know the answer to that! It’s my understanding that there are some gender differences in our brains but i’m not sure that it is that clear cut as to say male brain vs female brain. the bbc once did a series on brains and gender so that might be a good place for you to start finding out more http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sex/add_user.shtml other than that perhaps if you ask your question to some of the other scientists in the zone who work more closely with the brain they might be able to find an answer for you.
