Men are from Mars, women are from Venus? New brain study says not

Authors say scans show need to think beyond an individual's sex as each brain has unique "mosaic" of sex-based features plus some common to both sexes
If men are from Mars and women are from Venus, no one told the organ that matters most. There is no sharp division between male and female brains, according to researchers who found that we are all a mixture instead.
Scientists analysed brain scans of more than 1400 men and women and found that while some features are more common in one sex than the other, each person's brain has a unique "mosaic" of these features, as well as others seen commonly in both.
