Cool, so early on a TED talk.^^
Why is that cool?
@Westcoast Lass If you have to ask you don’t understand.
What are you even doing here…? ;D
@hateeternalmaver It was a simple question, and in your response you tell me I don’t belong here? You’re rude and grouchy.
@Westcoast Lass Mate. I’m not rude at all. Im sorry but “why is something” cool is never a simple question. It is a subjective thing, you know… Also, why am I rude for asking you a question back? Have a nice one. ,)
Cool… brain
No gendered brains, now I’ll tell you how men and women’s brains are different…… wtf?

“That ’70s show” anyone?
Before puberty the estrogen levels are low, so my question is why little girls brains are not affected? Does it have to do something with the high levels of growth hormone or am I missing something?
I’m a girl and I went crazy at age 11 and halfway through age 12. Everyone thought I was bipolar but the symptoms stopped completely when I was 13.
My mom says that after menopause she has become more sensitive to temperature and complains when it’s hot and cold.
My wife’s brain plays tricks on me.
I’m 43, perimenepausal and it’s like sitting back watching a mad woman. Also, some things are so beautiful I can’t stand it and sob. Good times. I can’t wait for the other side.
