Thinking of You blog – Dr. Nirao Shah joins Andrew Huberman on the subject of Male vs. Female Brain Differences
Stanford neuroscientist Dr. Nirao Shah joins Andrew Huberman to explain how male and female brains are biologically shaped by genes and hormones – starting in utero and continuing across puberty, adulthood, and aging. They explore how testosterone and estrogen drive differences in brain structure, behavior, sexual identity, and parenting. This conversation breaks down complex neuroscience behind gender, sex differences, and how the hypothalamus plays a central role in mating, aggression, and bonding – across both mice and humans. The result? A fascinating, science-based framework for understanding how nature and nurture shape who we are.
