Two thirds of people diagnosed with Alzheimer's are women. In addition, research shows that Alzheimer's biomarker tau protein accumulates differently and more quickly in women's brains. Researchers like Rosalind Franklin University's Lise Eliot are investigating how differences in brain structure for men and women are impacting Alzheimer's risk. Eliot joins Being Patient Live Talks to discuss these gender differences in the brain and the current research in this space. Eliot is a professor of neuroscience in the Chicago Medical School of Rosalind Franklin University. Her research centers on brain and gender development, focusing particularly on the role of neuroplasticity in translating early life experience into neural circuitry. She is the author of two books, What's Going On in There? How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life (Bantam), and Pink Brain, Blue Brain: How Small Differences Grow Into Troublesome Gaps (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt).

Are there differences between the brains of women and men? In this episode of Your Brain On, we explore the unique aspects of the female brain, and how the male-biased history of medical science has left us with enormous gaps in our knowledge of women's distinctive neurology. We discuss: • The striking uniformity in the structure of the female and male brain • The possible physiological and sociological reasons why women have a higher risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's • The recent progress that's been made in making neuroscientific studies more inclusive • What current research says about Hormone Replacement Therapy, a common treatment for postmenopausal drops in neuroprotective hormones We're joined by Dr. Margaret McCarthy, James & Carolyn Frenkil Endowed Dean's Professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, where she is also Professor and Chair of the Department of Pharmacology, renowned for her research into the neuroscience of sex differences, and Dr. Lise Eliot, Professor of Neuroscience at the Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. ‘Your Brain On' is hosted by neurologists, scientists and public health advocates, Ayesha and Dean Sherzai. ‘Your Brain On...

Primatologist Frans de Waal examines the significance of biology and culture on gendered behavior, and neuroscientist Lise Eliot debunks the theory that the male and female brains are different.

¿Qué tan diferentes son los cerebros de hombres y mujeres? La pregunta se ha hecho durante años, con respuestas que siempre habían sesgado la historia, afirmando que por supuesto lo son y mucho, con la idea de que las desigualdades entre los sexos residían en un cerebro masculino mayor y mejor equipado. Un nuevo estudio liderado por la neurocientífica Lise Eliot de la Rosalind Franklin University es el primero en resumir una investigación de rangos tan amplios en un único mega análisis. Y la respuesta es: las diferencias son nada.

Although most scientists nowadays would not argue that brains of males and females belong to two distinct types, the binary framework still dominates thinking about the relations between sex and the brain. I’ll describe challenges to the binary formulation of these relations and how this formulation has evolved in response to these challenges, with the latest version claiming that brains are typically male or female because brain structure can be used to predict the sex category (female/male) of the brain’s owner. I will also present several lines of evidence revealing that sex category explains only a small part of the variability in human brain structure, and a recent study challenging the masculinization hypothesis. I suggest to replace the binary framework with a new, non-binary, framework, according to which mosaic brains reside in a multi-dimensional space that cannot meaningfully be reduced to a male-female continuum or to a binary variable. This framework may also apply to sex-related variables and has implications for research. SEE ALSO:  Panel Discussion with Daphna Joel, Lise Eliot, moderated by Donna Maney and Katrina Karkazis. Intro Music: Small Acts of Devotion feat.

Girls in sparkly, pink dresses. Boys crazy about anything with wheels. Gender differences are everywhere. It’s difficult not to see those differences and then attribute them to something that is hardwired at birth, but neuroscience shows that there is very little difference between boys’ and girls’ brains.   Host Jessica Rolph welcomes Dr. Lise Eliot to this episode. She is a professor of neuroscience at the Chicago Medical School and the author of Pink Brain, Blue Brain: How Small Differences Grow Into Troublesome Gaps — and What We Can Do About It. Lise and Jessica explore ways we, as parents, can help break down damaging gender stereotypes.   Key Takeaways: [1:12] How do boys’ and girls’ brains differ? [3:22] How should we think about gender stereotypes? Why is it important to avoid them? [4:30] Lise talks about the trends she has noticed in parenting both genders. [5:53] Do mothers talk more to preschool-aged daughters than sons? [9:17] Lise talks about how to raise children who can fully express themselves by not discouraging what could be considered gender-inappropriate play. [11:23] What should parents do about a relative or caregiver who is showing disapproval of their boy’s interest in princesses and “girl stuff”? How can parents explain their philosophy to that person? [13:11] Toddlers are naturally interested in categorizing; what is the reason for that? [15:27] Lise talks about dressing our boys and girls. [17:23 ] Jessica shares her takeaways from the conversation with Lise.     Mentioned in this episode: Brought to you by Lovevery.com Pink Brain, Blue Brain: How Small Differences Grow Into Troublesome Gaps--and What We Can Do About It, Dr. Lise Eliot What's Going on in There?: How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life, Dr. Lise Eliot

CBSN recently released a new documentary, Raising Boys. Among those featured in the documentary: our very own Jennifer L.W. Fink. The intent of the documentary, says producer Kayla Ruble, was to examine "what issues lead to the headlines" that so often announce stories of men behaving badly. The intent was to search for answers to the question that is on the mind of every parent of boys: How do we raise good men?  The documentary features 6  families -- David French, a dad who discusses the difference between raising boys today vs. when he was growing up Gemma Gaudette, the mom of a son who got in trouble for punching a kid who picked on him Mike & Katy Anderson, parents of three active boys who love to wrestle and brawl Roe Anderson, a single mom of a boy who prefers art to sports Ruth Whippman, a mom of three boys who discusses the messages boys receive about masculinity from books and movies Roberto and Tenysa Santiago, parents of three children including a boy who like to paint his nails and wear his hair in a pontail -- as well as expert commentary from Ted Bunch, co-founder of A Call to Men (Tim Bell, a Call to Men mentor and basketball coach also shares his experience) Michael C. Reichert, author of How to Raise a Boy (and a previous ON BOYS guest) Dr. Lise Eliot, author of Pink Brain, Blue Brain Jen! What did you think about the documentary?

Peter Gouzouasis of the University of British Columbia explains the benefits of music education in academic development. Lise Eliot of Rosalind Franklin University examines gender norms by looking at sex differences in brain structure. Marta Braun of Ryerson University explores Eadweard Muybridge's pioneering work in motion photography. Elephant ethologist Joyce Poole translates elephant talk to understand how happy they are.

Why is it that we think boys are good at math and girls are more empathetic? Or that boys can’t focus in the classroom and girls are obsessed with relationships? These sometimes damaging gender stereotypes have become part of our culture, but are they backed up by science? Neuroscientist Lise Eliot says our default assumption is that our gender differences are hardwired, but that’s not the case. In her book Pink Brain Blue Brain, she uses research and her work on neuroplasticity to debunk our traditional thinking. She speaks with Michael Kimmel, sociology and gender studies professor at Stony Brook University. Show Notes Listen to our Off Stage episode featuring Maldivian climate activist Thilmeeza Hussain.

In this segment, neurologist Dr. Lise Eliot delves into questions regarding transgender and childhood gender identity. What factors of brain development inform gender identity in children? Dr. Eliot elaborates on what we do know, and don’t know, about the development of gender identity and gender expression in children, and how the ambiguity of gender expression in certain individuals points to gender as a cultural, rather than biological, function. Dr. Eliot’s research is centered on brain and gender development, especially the role of neuroplasticity in shaping neural circuitry and behavior. Her studies range from cellular neurophysiology to meta-analyses of brain sex difference and include two highly-praised trade books, ‘What's Going On in There? How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life,’ and ‘Pink Brain, Blue Brain: How Small Differences Grow Into Troublesome Gaps.’ Through both empirical and scholarly research, Dr. Eliot analyzes the interplay between innate biology, sociocultural factors, and individual experience in molding our brains and behavior across the lifespan.

In this episode, I speak with Lise Eliot — Professor of Neuroscience at The Chicago Medical School of Rosalind Franklin University, and the author of ‘Pink Brain, Blue Brain: How Small Differences Grow into Troublesome Gaps and What We Can Do About It.’ In this interview, I tried to get to the root of what informs gender identity and its relationship to our biology, specifically regarding human neurology and brain development. The questions we explore in this episode include: What significant neurological differences exist between a “male” and “female” brain, especially at the time of birth? If differences exist, what role do these differences play in the development of individual traits -- traits that may be categorized culturally as either “female” or “male” in nature? How much is the development of an individual's gender identity associated with cultural, rather than biological, factors? Along with these subject, we also delve into questions regarding transgender and childhood gender identity. Dr. Eliot's research and insight sheds a light on the complex interplay between biology, childhood brain development, and cultural practices on gender identity and its connection, or lack thereof, to biological sex. Dr. Eliot’s research is centered on brain and gender development, especially the role of neuroplasticity in shaping neural circuitry and behavior. Her studies range from cellular neurophysiology to meta-analyses of brain sex difference and include two highly-praised trade books, ‘What's Going On in There? How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life,’ and ‘Pink Brain, Blue Brain: How Small Differences Grow Into Troublesome Gaps.’ Through both empirical and scholarly research, Dr. Eliot analyzes the interplay between innate biology, sociocultural factors, and individual experience in molding our brains and behavior across the lifespan.

Barbara und Katrin nehmen ein komplexes Thema unter die Lupe: Was macht uns zu Frauen? Eine neue Studie von Lise Eliot legt nahe, dass die Unterschiede im Gehirn viel kleiner sind, als bislang angenommen. Auf der anderen Seite ist da Chelsea Manning, die in einem ihrer ersten Tweets beschrieb, dass die Hormontherapie sie sensibler gemacht hätte - emotional wie auch physisch. Hormone, Sozialisation, Rollenerwartungen, Sexismus und Freiheit - durch ein Dickicht an Annahmen, Stereotypen und Erlebnissen versuchen wir eine Schneise zu schlagen auf der Suche nach einer Antwort, die weder negiert, dass Frauen mehr sind, als nur "weiblich sozialisierte Personen", noch in alten Rollenklischees verharrt.

This is the second of two programs exploring the special challenges of raising boys into becoming young men who DON'T turn to violence and crime and sexual domination. Young boys and sex will be the focus of this program. Among the statistics that we heard in the first program are these sex-related crimes – the super huge majority committed by men, young men or boys – 87% of stalkers are male, 86% of domestic violence assaults resulting in physical injury are done by males, 99% of rapes are committed by males. Some high profile rapes and shootings have involved a certain misogyny like the apparently misogynistic mass shooting in 2014 in Santa Barbara by a young man who seemed to be settling the score with young women who wouldn't go out with him. These cases have many of us wondering. Not wondering so much about where those messages are coming from. Everybody seems to know that although we debate which is more at fault, the misogynistic messages and perpetration of sexual myths come from other adults, sometimes in the same household as young boys, and they come from the media – books, magazines, movies, the internet, advertising, television. In a nation of freedom of speech and low government regulation, most seem to accept that doing anything about the media end of the equation seems to be a lost cause. A perhaps debatable conclusion which we've covered in other Peace Talks Radio programs on video game violence for example. But we also wonder how to counter or balance the impact of the many messages of sexual objectification and gender inequality that are aimed at our boys. And that's where we'll spend a good bit of our time with our guests today on Peace Talks Radio. Guests include: Dr. Victor Lacerva, co-founder of New Mexico Men's Wellness and author of the book Masculine Wisdom ; Dr. Joseph Marshall, a former educator in San Francisco who left teaching behind to study and try to end youth violence. Also neuroscientist Dr. Lise Eliot from the Chicago Medical school and the author of a book Pink Brain Blue Brain. Suzanne Kryder hosts with Paul Ingles.

Statistics show that males commit about 90% of all the murders and almost all of the other violent crime in the United States.  On these programs, we’ve chosen to not just list the symptoms and multiple sources contributing to the culture of violence in the U.S., but to look upstream to learn what parents and the community can do to understand why some boys and men are drawn to violent themes and sometimes turn violent.  We’re asking our panel, what we can do to catch our boys and young men before they fall into the abyss of the criminal justice system or worse, lose their lives and take others with them.  Our next episode will focus on the sometimes confused takes on gender and sexual roles that young men sometimes develop - becoming misogynistic, domineering and sometimes violent  in their intimate relationships. Suzanne Kryder hosts. Our guests include a former educator in San Francisco who left teaching behind to study youth violence and try to end it.  Dr. Joseph Marshall runs the Omega Boys Club/Street Soldiers program there.  "Street Soldier" is the name of one of his books on the subject.   Also we’ll hear from Dr. Victor La Cerva, co-founder of New Mexico Men’s Wellness and author of the book "Masculine Wisdom".   And we also visit with   Dr. Lise Eliot of the Chicago Medical school about boys and men’s brains and hormones.  She’s the author of the book "Pink Brain Blue Brain: How Small Differences Grow into Troublesome Gaps – and What We Can Do About It".
