With the help of scanning technology, Swedish researchers found a difference in the nerve-wiring of gay men and women’s brain if compared to the heterosexual people’s brains of the same sex. However, a similarity was also noted between homosexual people’s brain and their opposite sex heterosexual people’s brain. Thus, the brain of a gay man was more likely to the brain of heterosexual woman than a heterosexual man and similarly, a lesbian’s brain was more alike to heterosexual man’s brain than a heterosexual woman.
The study has been published online in the Journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) and it was the work of Drs Ivanka Savic and Per Lindström from the Stockholm Brain Institute at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute.
