“男人来自火星，女人来自金星”的神话让科学受损

Science is losing out because of the mistaken belief that "men are from Mars and women from Venus", a leading neuroscientist has claimed.

来自英国阿斯顿大学的里彭教授说，由于被“男人来自火星，女人来自金星”的信仰所误导，科学正蒙受损失。

Professor Gina Rippon said it was time to debunk the myth that gender differences are hard-wired into our brains.

吉娜·里彭（Gina Rippon）教授说，是时候揭穿性别差异在我们大脑根深蒂固的神话了。

In reality, there was no significant difference between the brains of a girl and boy in terms of their structure and function, she stressed.

她强调，事实上从大脑的结构和功能上看，男生和女生并无明显差别。

But experiences and even attitudes could change the "plastic" brain on a physical level, causing its wiring to alter.

但经历甚至态度能在物理等级上改变“可塑造的”大脑，引起它的结构变化。 It was this that led girls and boys from an early age to head in different directions, said Prof Rippon, from Aston University.
