Anatomically, there is little difference between male and female brains. While male babies have brains that average 12% larger, and male adults as much as 20% larger, this is substantially due to a correspondingly higher overall body weight. As a percentage of total body weight, the sizes are practically identical. The only major brain section that is physically larger in men is the preoptic region of the hypothalamus. After about 4 years of age, the size of this area is twice as large in males as in females. But the exact implication of this specialized growth is still unknown. The preoptic hypothalamus involves (among other things) the thermal regulation of the body.

On average, boys' brains are slightly larger than girls' brains, but this does not necessarily translate to differences in intelligence or cognitive abilities. Numerous factors, such as genetics, environment, and individual experiences, influence brain development and function.
