I'm pretty sure all the definitions are user submits. I just like it 'cause it says what people think of when they hear the word, which isn't always the exact definition.
The 80's were pretty fruity though.

Actually the increase in white matter occurs primarily in the Amygdala. Which is the emotiona centre, or gateway to the limbic system.
The point is that the adults in our culture essentially program the children, causing them to fit these models we've created. So long as we continue to say "Men/Women are like this..." they will be. By saying it we are hard-wiring it into our children, they then behave according to expectations, for the most part.
Then the question remains, is it bad or good to have these distinct gender roles? According to women's liberation, it's a bad thing. Then we abolish this perception that men/women are better suited for specific roles within the family. This means women are not better parents naturally and men are not better workers as studies have shown. The differences are only from individual to individual. Perhaps we should look at the mass of white and grey matter of the amygdala in both parents to determine who is 'better'. But I don't think that's the only determining factor in what makes a good parent.
I'm referring to the corpus callosum, which connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain.
"Newsweek stated in 1992 that the corpus callosum was 'Often wider in the brains of women than in those of men, it may allow for greater cross talk between the hemispheres—possibly the basis for woman’s "intuition". It has also been used, for example, as the explanation of an increased single-task orientation of male, relative to female, learners; a smaller male corpus is said to make it harder for the left and right sides of the brain to work together and to explain a greater feminine ability to multitask."
"...more recent studies using new techniques revealed morphological sex differences in human corpus callosum. Whether, and to what extent, these morphological differences are associated with behavioural and cognitive differences between males and females is unclear".
It looks like according to science, how all this is tied together, and what causes what is unclear, without adding in beliefs and theories. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_callosum

I agree with this, basically. I think it's very important to decide on an individual basis. We cannot judge one person as per a gender role, even with generalities, or we practise a programmed lack of discernment and stereotyping.

It's also unclear if there is a difference. This section you left out...
Unusually, the scientific dispute in the case of the corpus callosum is not about the implications of biological difference, but whether such a difference actually exists. A substantial review paper performed a meta-analysis of 49 studies and found, contrary to de Lacoste-Utamsing and Holloway, that males have a larger corpus callosum, a relationship that is true whether or not account is taken of larger male brain size.[1]

The second part I quoted states that newer studies show this difference. "more recent studies using new techniques revealed morphological sex differences in human corpus callosum". I've read this elsewhere, as well, in a book by a neuropsychiatrist.

I actually don't agree that one side of the brain is emotional and the other side is logical. I also don't agree that "intuition" is a product of coherence between the left and right hemispheres, intution comes from the prefrontal insular cortex, as far as I know.
Some studies have shown that the brain doesn't operate solely on one side at a time, it all operates together, in tandem.

You know those pics, though, that show the parts of the brain that are lit up at any one time. It's percentages at different times, for different functions.

Popular psychology has suggested that the right brain is responsible for creativity and emotion, and the left brain is responsible for logic, analysis, and spatial reasoning. However, these are broad generalizations with little support. Both hemispheres process the same data. The difference is that the left brain processes in a linear, or sequential manner. The right brain processes data simultaneously, and because it is mute, does not connect plausible explanations immediately to each step in the process, but instead trusts the left brain to later link the reasoning behind beliefs or decisions.
The best evidence of lateralization for one specific ability is language. Both of the major areas involved in language skills, Broca's area and Wernicke's area, are in the left hemisphere. Perceptual information from the eyes, ears, and rest of the body is sent to the opposite hemisphere, and motor information sent out to the body also comes from the opposite hemisphere (see also primary sensory areas).
If these specific pieces of the brain are injured or destroyed, their functions can sometimes be recovered by neighboring brain regions - even opposite hemispheres. This depends more on the age and the damage occurred than anything else.
The magnocellular pathway of the visual system sends more information to the right hemisphere, while the parvocellular pathway sends more information to the left hemisphere. There are higher levels of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine on the right and higher levels of dopamine on the left. There is more white-matter (longer axons) on right and more grey-matter (cell bodies) on the left (Carter, 2004).
Studying the brain has shown that simplistic pseudoscience claims about brain function tend to miss or skew vital information. It is important to stress that there is much about the brain that is not understood by scientists, but it is clear at this point that processes like creativity, emotion, spatial reasoning, and logical reasoning involve regions spread across the brain.
Researchers neuropsychologists like Roger Sperry have studied split-brain patients to better understand lateralization. Sperry has also used tachistoscopes to present visual information to one hemisphere or the other. Scientists have also studied people born without a corpus callosum to determine specialization of brain hemispheres.

I loved the 80's.
Gowan's "Criminal Mind" video was very cool. And Styx DOES rock!!! I'm not so sure about Strange Animal, though!
I actually say Styx at Casino-Rama a couple years ago. All I can say is holy groupies!! Unreal. The audience practically sung along with the entire concert, and the entire seating area was shaking from everyone rocking out.
I got the tickets as a "what the heck...why not" thing....but I was quite impressed afterwards.

on those rare occurences when i'm actually driving a car it depends on how yellow the light is. and of course, what mood i am in.
hehe. Does the yellow light actually change shades? I never really slow down long enough to look at them
I drive like a drug abuser takes rehab. Patience, and one day at a time.
