**Un libro accesible, divertido y convincente para comprender el
funcionamiento del cerebro de la mujer a través de la ciencia.
**
¿Por qué las mujeres tienen mayor capacidad verbal que los hombres? ¿Por
qué recuerdan detalles de las peleas que ellos no recuerdan? ¿Por qué
tienden a establecer vínculos más profundos con sus amigas que los
hombres con sus compañeros? En este libro, Louanne Brizendine reúne los
últimos descubrimientos para mostrar cómo cada estado hormonal -años de
infancia, de adolescencia, de citas amorosas, de maternidad yde
menopausia- actúa como fertilizante de diferentes conexiones
neurológicas. Y revela que la estructura singularmente flexible del
cerebro femenino determina cómo piensan las mujeres, qué valoran, cómo
se comunican y a quién aman.
Basado en tres décadas de investigación, El cerebro femenino ayudará a
las mujeres a comprenderse mejor a sí mismas y a los hombres de su vida.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Since Dr. Brizendine wrote The Female Brain ten years ago, the
response has been overwhelming. This New York Times bestseller has
been translated into more than thirty languages, has sold nearly a
million copies between editions, and has most recently inspired a
romantic comedy starring Whitney Cummings and Sofia Vergara. And its
profound scientific understanding of the nature and experience of the
female brain continues to guide women as they pass through life stages,
to help men better understand the girls and women in their lives, and to
illuminate the delicate emotional machinery of a love relationship.
Why are women more verbal than men? Why do women remember details of
fights that men can't remember at all? Why do women tend to form deeper
bonds with their female friends than men do with their male
counterparts? These and other questions have stumped both sexes
throughout the ages.
Now, pioneering neuropsychiatrist Louann Brizendine, M.D., brings
together the latest findings to show how the unique structure of the
female brain determines how women think, what they value, how they
communicate, and who they love. While doing research as a medical
student at Yale and then as a resident and faculty member at Harvard,
Louann Brizendine discovered that almost all of the clinical data in
existence on neurology, psychology, and neurobiology focused exclusively
on males. In response to the overwhelming need for information on the
female mind, Brizendine established the first clinic in the country to
study and treat women's brain function.
In The Female Brain, Dr. Brizendine distills all her findings and the
latest information from the scientific community in a highly accessible
book that educates women about their unique brain/body/behavior.
The result: women will come away from this book knowing that they have a
lean, mean, communicating machine. Men will develop a serious case of
brain envy.
