Why

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

Brazilian researchers counted the cells in the part of the brain that handles smell. Women had 16.2 million. Men had 9.2 million.

That is 76 percent more. Counting only the nerve cells that do the actual work, women had 6.9 million against 3.5 million. Almost exactly double.

Worth flagging one thing, because the number gets mangled everywhere. The paper reports the gap as 43 percent, and news write-ups turned that into women having 43 percent more than men. It measures the gap against the female total. Run it the normal way, against the male number, and it is 76.

The bit that makes this land is the weight. The structure itself was the same size in both, 0.132 grams in women and 0.137 in men, near enough identical. Every previous study had measured volume, found no difference worth mentioning, and moved on. Nobody had opened it up and counted.

The technique for counting is only a few years old. You dissolve the tissue into a soup where every cell is loose and evenly spread, then count what is in a sample and multiply up. It gives you an actual number instead of an estimate from a photograph.

Women have outperformed men on smell tests for as long as anyone has run them. Identifying odours, remembering them, detecting them at lower concentrations. The usual explanation was that women pay more attention to smells, or care more, or are trained by circumstance to notice. They were working with twice the equipment.

The sample is small, 11 women and 7 men, all over 55, and the researchers say so. What they had was postmortem tissue, which is the only way to count cells in a human brain.

Every woman who has walked into a room and said something smells wrong, and been told she is imagining it, was carrying about seven million cells the other person did not have.

A Argentina passou vergonha de todas as formas e saiu dessa copa sem taça e mais odiada que os EUA. Estou muito grata 💚

Lo de la @Argentina (@AFA) es la definición de antifútbol y mal perder. No supieron ganar en el campo y han demostrado una falta de dignidad absoluta fuera de él. Dar la espalda y negar el aplauso a la @SEFutbol es una actitud marrullera, tosca e inaceptable para profesionales.
