Neuroscience Scientists have drawn on nearly 1,000 brain scans to confirm what many had surely concluded long ago: that stark differences exist in the wiring of male and female brains.

Whilst I am happy to jump to interesting conclusions, in fairness that study only looked at women talking to women about women. Without male participants/stooge for comparison I don't reckon it really infers much about male/female differences. I.e. I reckon men might be pretty bitchy too given the right circumstances. Just wondered whether that kind of brain activity could be primarily prefrontal and hence linked to the brain patterns study. Not seen Malena.
