The two participants discuss how the brain is gendered. If it is not biology that decides – then what does? That is the question that Rippon and Wallentin attempt to answer; is it culture? language? Society? or does biology in fact play a part? Because there are differences - the two agree – but where does the differences come from?Gina Rippon is one of Britain’s leading neuroscientists.
