Growing together and growing apart: Regional and sex differences in the lifespan developmental trajectories of functional homotopy (2010, background): “Morphometric studies have detected sex-related differences in the same regions (McDonald et al., 2000; Goldstein et al., 2001; Cahill, 2006), suggesting consistency across structure and function.”
The role of the amygdala in emotional processing: a quantitative meta-analysis of functional neuroimaging studies. (2008, background): “Specifically, MRI studies have reported a larger amygdala volume and/or gray matter density in men, even after controlling for overall brain size (Goldstein et al., 2001).”
Working Memory: Theories, Models, and Controversies (2015, neutral): “Sexual dimorphism in the vmPFC, amygdala, hippocampus, and dACC is well documented (Goldstein et al. 2001).”
Sex differences in direct aggression: What are the psychological mediators? (2006, result): “Larger frontomedial (Goldstein et al., 2001) and orbitofrontal (Gur et al., 2002) cortices have been found in women, although two studies which failed to adjust for intracranial volume found no sex difference (Raz, Gunning, Head, Dupois, Mc Quain, McQuain et al., 1997; Szeszko, Bilder, Lencz,…”
Why sex matters for neuroscience (2006, background): “Imaging studies consistently show, for example, that the hippocampus is larger in women than in men when adjusted for total brain siz”
Evolving knowledge of sex differences in brain structure, function, and chemistry. (2007, background): “Thus, while differences in total brain size are less meaningful, size differences in smaller brain structures (19,26,27) are important for normal behaviors and diseases and may reflect the prevalence or course of disease in men and women (Table 1).”
NEURAL CORRELATES OF EMOTIONAL MEMORIES: A REVIEW OF EVIDENCE FROM BRAIN IMAGING STUDIES (2012, background): “Moreover, neuroanatomical research revealed sex-related differences in emotion-related brain regions (e.g., AMY and OFC volumes) (Goldstein et al., 2001; Gur, Gunning-Dixon, Bilker, & Gur, 2002).”
The teen brain: insights from neuroimaging. (2008, methodology): “Consistent with the adult neuroimaging literature [6], mean total cerebral volume is approximately 10% larger in boys.”
Relative Size versus Controlling for Size (2005, background): “Goldstein et al. (2001) find cortical volume to be less dimorphic than total cerebral volume (1.057 versus 1.089), Filipek et al. (1994) find dimorphism of the whole brain, cerebrum, and neocortex to be almost identical (1.08), and Henery and Mayhew (1989) find the cortical surface area to be more…”
The neuroanatomy of general intelligence: sex matters (2005, background): “More specific regional analyses of GM volume differences (Goldstein et al., 2001) have shown that women have greater GM volume than men in regions including the precentral gyrus (BA 6, 4), fronto-orbital cortex (BA 47), superior frontal (BA 6, 8, 9), and lingual gyri (BA 17, 18), while men had large”
Fear Extinction as a Model for Translational Neuroscience: Ten Years of Progress (2012, background): “Sexual dimorphism in the vmPFC, amygdala, hippocampus, and dACC is well documented (Goldstein et al. 2001).”
Aging, sexual dimorphism, and hemispheric asymmetry of the cerebral cortex: replicability of regional differences in volume. (2004, background): “A recent study of young adults suggested that regional sex differences may follow a pattern of developmental distribution of estrogen receptors [ 24 ].”
Hardwired for Sexism? Approaches to Sex/Gender in Neuroscience (2012, background): “There may indeed be differences in the average size of specific regions between men’s and women’s brains [41], and many activation studies suggest that there are average differences in the way that men and women “recruit” different regions of the brain when”
Sex differences in the structural connectome of the human brain (2013, background): “Males have larger crania, proportionate to their larger body size, and a higher percentage of white matter (WM), which contains myelinated axonal fibers, and cerebrospinal fluid (5), whereas women demonstrate a higher percentage of gray matter after correcting for intracranial volume effect (6).”
