I heard somewhere that scientists have found in recent studies that there
is a difference in the brain structure of men and women, in that women
have a major connection between the right and left halves of the brain,
whereas men do not.  I was also told that this means that women can use both
sides of their brain at the same time, whereas men have difficulty doing
that and can only concentrate on logic *or* emotions separately.  Men
who do have this connection in the brain have dyslexia.
     Does anyone know of the validity of this connection, and its probable
effects on thought patterns?
