The Difference on Memory Between Genders
Abstract
This paper shows five different articles on how either gender can affect the amygdale or affect short term memory; they were all online articles from 1997 to 2010. In Cahill, L (2006, May) his paper uses the term amygdale which is defined as a small section in both the left and right hemisphere of the brain, they are almond-shaped groups of nuclei located deep within the medial temporal lobes of the brain in complex vertebrates, including humans. There are always going to be debates on which gender can suppress more information, men and women have always tried to prove their superiority in the brain related field and there are going to be scientists that argue male’s have a better memory and others that say female’s, but there has been research done to try and determine which one, males or female’s. In the nervous system, the memory related events occur in the hippocampus; it belongs to the limbic system and plays important roles in long-term memory and spatial navigation. The hippocampus is located inside the medial temporal lobe, beneath the cortical surface. It is also one of the first regions of the brain to go when a person develops Alzheimer’s disease.

Gender and Memory In Cahill L (2006, June) “Research into sex influences is mandatory to fully understand a host of brain disorders with sex differences in their incidence and/or nature. The striking quantity and diversity of sex-related influences on brain function indicate that the still widespread assumption that sex influences are negligible cannot be justified, and probably retards progress in our field”. Cahill has written many articles about neurobiology and neuroscience, and the majority of them were published in 2006. (Cahill L, 2006, May) Shows an example of the “sexually dimorphic function in other amygdale nuclei” comes from a recent study by Braun (et al). A rodent species known as Octodon degus or rat known to central Chile
