Women exhibit higher alpha band interhemispheric correlation during rest, suggesting lower hemispheric differentiation than men. This brain activity correlates with cognitive abilities in both sexes.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Psychophysiology

Background:

  • Understanding sex differences in brain function is crucial for personalized medicine and cognitive research.
  • Electroencephalography (EEG) provides insights into brain activity and interhemispheric communication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate sex differences in resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) interhemispheric correlation.
  • To explore the relationship between EEG interhemispheric correlation and cognitive abilities (verbal, spatial, abstract reasoning) in men and women.

Main Methods:

  • EEG activity was recorded from 18 healthy volunteers (9 males, 9 females) at rest.
  • Interhemispheric correlation in the alpha band was analyzed across central, parietal, and occipital derivations.

  • Correlation between EEG data and scores from the Differential Aptitude Test (DAT) was examined.

    • Main Results:

    • Women showed significantly higher alpha band interhemispheric correlation than men at central, parietal, and occipital sites.
    • Significant correlations were found between DAT scores and interhemispheric correlation, with sex-specific patterns.
    • Women's correlations were positive for abstract and spatial aptitudes (central cortex), while men's were negative across most derivations for spatial, abstract, and verbal scores.

    Conclusions:

    • Sex differences in resting-state EEG suggest distinct cerebral functional organization, with women exhibiting lower hemispheric differentiation than men.
    • Interhemispheric correlation patterns are associated with specific cognitive aptitudes, differing between sexes.
    • These findings highlight potential neurobiological underpinnings of cognitive sex differences.
