Gay men and women with the innate properties of the brain that is connected to emotional reactions and aggression. This conclusion Swedish scientists from the comparative study of the results of the MRI scans of gay, lesbian and heterosexual persons. In a study conducted at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, employees took 90 volunteers - 25 heterosexuals and 20 gays of both sexes. Screening for MRI confirmed the evidence that lesbians and heterosexual men is slightly higher than the right hemisphere in relation to the left, while in women, the usual orientation and homosexual dimensions hemispheres were about the same. Then using the method of positron emission tomography, which allows to observe changes in the activity of different regions of the brain in real time. They focused on the amygdala - the department responsible for the aggression and anxiety. As it turns out, the women are heterosexual and homosexual men with amygdala activates regions of the brain which are often associated with anxiety, depression and phobias. At the same time, heterosexual men and lesbians in the amygdala body sections, connected to the sensory-motor functions, through the quick and active response to impending danger. As the author of the study explained, Ivanka Savic (Ivanka Savic), the results suggest that the brain work of homosexuals and lesbians in certain situations on the model, typical of the opposite sex. This is particularly so, due to the greater exposure to gay people to depression - a condition that is more common in women in general. At the same time, says Savic (Ivanka Savic), especially the brain, gays and lesbians are likely formed at the stage of fetal development, and are not available on the influence of the environment on the mental development of the individual.
