The rationale is that cells use sugar for energy when they work. If cells start to work a bit harder in an area of the brain devoted to the specified task, the cells in that area will consume more sugar. The scanner registers and indicates the area of the brain involved. These live-brain studies have, for example, shown different patterns of activation between men and women doing certain word tests or math/spatial tests. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) involves creating a magnetic field around the head that induces the protons in hydrogen atoms in cells to align along the same axis.
I followed the literature through the years until one day my epiphany struck. The weight of the data had become overwhelming and incontrovertible. Here and there, • 36 • Women, Power, and the Biology of Peace in this slight way and that, male and female brains were different! My world turned upside down.

Unless these laborers get something back that they value very highly indeed, this system is ultimately doomed.
