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. For at least 20 years, nroscientists have been tryg to disver whether there are specific anatomil differenc between heterosexual and homosexual men and women. An early post-mortem study found that a small regn of the anterr hypothalam was smaller homosexual men than heterosexual men, and no different om heterosexual women.

GAY MEN, STRAIGHT WOMEN HAVE SIAR BRAS

Overall, the specific bra regns homosexual mal tend to be siar to heterosexual women (more female‐typil), while the same bra regns homosexual women tend to be siar to heterosexual men (more male‐typil). Many of the early imagg studi were limed by small sample siz and did not clu female, both heterosexual and homosexual, parison groups. Essentially, the differenc bra anatomy that distguish heterosexual mal and femal were prent, however they were ls pronounced when parg male and female homosexuals.

The bra regn that showed the most nsistent sexual orientatn‐related differenc both male and female homosexuals was the lre sulc. Geic factors that are associated wh variatns some rtil stctur showed oppose effects on rtil volume male vers female homosexuals who reported same-sex sexual behavrs. In other words, the bra regns of tert this study beme larger homosexual femal and smaller homosexual mal, as pared to their heterosexual unterparts.
