Bra sns show siari shape and nnectns between gay bras and straight on om the oppose sex. * gay brain scan *

Scientists at the Stockholm Bra Instute Swen report the Proceedgs of the Natnal Amy of Scienc USA that gay men and straight women share siar tras—most notably the size of their bras and the activy of the amygdala—an area of the bra tied to emotn, anxiety and aggrsn.

Prev studi have examed bra differenc between gay and straight people on the basis of their rpons to var tasks, such as ratg the attractivens of other people. The rearchers ed MRIs to terme the volume and shap of the bras of 90 volunteers—25 straight and 20 gay members of each sex. They found that the straight men and gay women had asymmetril bras; that is, the cerebm (the largt part of the bra, which is rponsible for thought, sensory procsg, movement and planng) was larger on the right hemisphere of the bra than on the left.

In ntrast, they found that women and gay men had symmetril cerebms. They found that gay men and women, the blood flowed to areas volved fear and anxiety, whereas straight men and lbians tend to flow to pockets lked to aggrsn.

GAY BRAS STCTURED LIKE THOSE OF THE OPPOSE SEX

A new study adds new weight to this evince by g bra-snng technology to look at the differenc between the bras of gay and straight people. Their imag show that the bras of gay people, certa featur cludg symmetry and nnectns to the bra’s emotnal centre are more closely matched to the bras of straight people om the oppose sex. SymmetryUsg magic ronance imagg (MRI), Savic and Ldstrom showed that the bra’s two halv are almost exactly the same size straight women and gay men.

For example, parts of the bra volved reward and emotn are more strongly activated when straight men and lbian women look at female fac, and when straight women and gay men see male fac. But attractive fac and enticg pheromon are both related to sex, and rpons to them uld be learned over Savic’s and Ldstrom’s new study shows that the differenc extend to fundamental aspects of the bra that aren’t directly lked to sex or behavur, and that are probably fixed om ia that straight men have more asymmetril bras than gay men fs wh prev rearch. When listeng to sounds, straight men tend to have a bias for their right ear, which both gay men and straight women lack.
