A study by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) found that men have better spatial recognition and effective strategy regarding the use of this ability to reach their destination faster a virtual environment, mainly due to the higher levels of the hormone testosterone.
What this realization? This means that the research team of Dr. Carl WS Pintzka showed that there really is a link between hormone levels and navigational skills as they found that men use their hippocampus during tasks find their way, in contrast to the women whose brains to use the frontal cortex, were wired. In simple words, while men were able to find their way through a virtual maze by finding information in three dimensions, the processing threads, women were closer to the local environment and preferred routes, whatever distance.
"In simple terms, women can be found faster on things at home, and men are faster in finding the house," said Dr. Pintzka said .
The team also found that after a decline of the hormone testosterone is administered under the tongue, the hippocampus woman the frontal cortex lit up, which means that testosterone makes women the navigation strategy used men. In other words, it was found that women who received a dose of testosterone to have a better understanding of the distribution, such as the hippocampus was more involved in the aerospace industry.
None of the participants, who participated in the study were pregnant or have experience with the first person computer games. The participants were all aged handed 19 women to 30, using oral contraceptives, a requirement that the team needed to eliminate the same time women contraceptives and in the same phase of the menstrual cycle in women they estradiol dose testosterone to be effective.

If you're wondering what the study of medical science says that women tend to be affected by Alzheimer's disease and the experts found that the sense of direction is to go first. "How do we know that twice as many women as men are diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, some could be related to sex hormones is harmful [sic]," said Dr. Pintzka. The study was carried out, in hopes to find out how the disease develops and ways to find to cope with the disease.
