Overall brain volume is greater in men than women

Allen and colleagues (2002) reported that the whole brain and most major subdivisions (e.g., hemispheres, frontal and temporal lobes, left parietal lobe, insula and cerebellum) were significantly larger in men compared to women

Is that body mass adjusted?

"Overall brain volume is greater in men than women, yet, when controlling for total volume, women have a higher percentage of gray matter and men a higher percentage of white matter."

Are you saying this is one of the errors in the article?

regardless the frontal lobe is bigger for sure which means men are smarter

whites have the largest frontal lobe and more gray matter if you check out my earlier post. whites are more innovative and better at abstract reasoning

whites have a larger cerebral volume according to this one, also the numbers are skewed as for the 'westerner' sample they added in niggers and a spic. but even with that, whites are still said to be larger here

We confirmed that women have a higher percentage of GM, whereas men have a higher percentage of WM and of CSF.

You did not explain why you were asking that, and so I will add to it. I have read articles that maintained intelligence is related to the brain to body ratio. Thus, octopi, cuttlefish, etc., are relatively highly intelligent even though they have small brains.

"Average brain volumes (excluding cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), meninges, and other non-brain tissue) of 1,130 cc for females and 1,260 cc for males were reported based on normal subjects of European ancestry from a convergence of studies."

So, assuming an average man is 180 pounds and a woman is 130 pounds, we get a simple comparison:
Women: 1130 cc brain / 130 pounds = 8.7 cc / pound
Men: 1260 cc brain / 180 pounds = 7 cc / pound

But we all know men are smarter, so that theory is obvious progressive dumpster trash, ha!

Well duh!

I should just write a bot to scrape and store whatever studies you post

im thinking of creating a list thats easy to share along with graphics for each one

That would be awesome. Keep up the good work, brother!
