This is What Happens to Our Brains When Men and Women Work Together

The researchers monitored over 200 participants’ brain activity while they performed a simple, cooperative task in pairs that involved pushing a button simultaneously without speaking to their partner. In male participants, parts of the brain in the right prefrontal cortex—associated with multitasking—received more oxygen from blood. In female participants, activation happened in the right temporal region—connected with recognizing social body cues. Although it’s difficult to say exactly what role these brain regions played in the discrete task at hand, these scans are the first steps to understanding how different genders approach working together.
