    Neuroscience of Gender Question!!
    Does the presence of receptors for androgens in different areas of the brain prove that male and female brains are predisposed to have different brain architectures?

    Or can the environment affect the level of receptors for hormones in the brain?

    Cheers.

    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.

    They've got over 181,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £4.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work absolutely free. Click here to find out more...

    It depends....If the receptors are present prenatally or at birth then it demonstrates that there are innate neurological differences. But there is a lot of evidence showing that the environment can influence the number of receptors e.g. certain drugs change receptors.
