• The Parieto-Frontal Integration Theory (P-FIT) of intelligence: Converging neuroimaging evidence (2007, background): “…positive correlations between the size of small gray brain matter areas and intelligence, and males (with greater brain structure volumes; e.g., Allen et al. 2003) have a slight mean g advantage and a flatter dispersion score than females do (Jackson & Rushton 2006; Lynn 1999; Nyborg 2003;…”
• Sex differences in cortical thickness mapped in 176 healthy individuals between 7 and 87 years of age. (2007, result): “Our results are consistent with prior volumetric findings of increased parietal lobe gray matter in women (Nopoulos and others 2000; Allen and others 2003) and with findings of greater gray matter density in women detected with voxel-based analyses (Good and others 2001a).”
• Sex differences in the structural connectome of the human brain (2013, background): “With the advent of neuroimaging, multiple studies have found sex differences in the brain (4) that could underlie the behavioral differences.”
• Age- and gender-related differences in the cortical anatomical network (2009, background): “For instance, a larger corpus callosum in women, after adjusting for the brain size, was repeatedly found (Allen et al., 2003; Leonard et al., 2008), suggesting greater inter-hemispheric connectivity and possibly accounting for the more bilateral pattern in language-related activation of women (Baxt”
• Gender Differences in Human Brain: A Review (2010, neutral): “Ratios of grey to white matter also differ significantly between the sexes in diverse regions of the human cortex [5].”
• Evolving knowledge of sex differences in brain structure, function, and chemistry. (2007, background): “Gray and white matter volumes also vary by sex (17,18).”
• Estrogen Actions in the Brain and the Basis for Differential Action in Men and Women: A Case for Sex-Specific Medicines (2010, background): “Indeed, post mortem studies, as well as evidence from new technologies for in vivo imaging, are adding rapidly to the view that sex differences in the human brain may be the norm rather than the exception (Madeira and Lieberman, 1995; Allen et al., 2003; Kruijver et al., 2003; Swaab et al., 2003; Lu”
• Gender difference analysis of cortical thickness in healthy young adults with surface-based methods (2006, methodology): “…white matter (WM) and brain size are smaller in women than in men – even after statistical control for sexual dimorphism in body size (Passe et al., 1997; Peters, 1991; Raz et al., 2004) – the relative proportions of GM tissue volume were higher in women (Allen et al., 2003; Gur et al., 1999).”
