   2014    Culture
Dr Michael Mosley and Professor Alice Roberts investigate if male and female brains really are wired differently. New research suggests that the connections in men and women's brains follow different patterns, patterns which may explain typical forms of male and female behaviour.

They ask whether this new scientific research will benefit both men and women - or whether it could drive the sexes even further apart.
