As related to gender, I am curious about the concrete differences, if there are any, in the way people born with different chromosomes act/feel. Are there real differences, besides physical, between males, females, etc.? What is it in people that lets them know what gender they are?
And about psychotic disorders, what is it your brain that makes you act/feel/think that way? How exactly do anti-psychotics work? Will there ever be a cure for psychosis, or schizophrenia? There are quite a few people with schizophrenia, but their symptoms are so random yet so similar from person to person, how does that happen? Is it just one part of your brain that causes it, or is it a combination or differently functioning parts?
Wait, should I post my response as comment or a new post? w/e I'll do both

Vaughn’s blog post was all about her curiosity with someone’s brain, the chemicals inside one’s brain, and what the brain is actually for. She wondered if there are real any mental differences between males and females beyond physical differences. My idea for how she could find these answers will have to be a pretty generic one. Since we/you cannot actually experiment on peoples brain chemistry, Vaughn could do one of the following:
Conduct social experiments, to see what people do and how they react an make an average of what different groups of people do,
Or…You could just do generic research on the Internet including gathering data, reading published scientific journals, and books. Possibly something like that. The problem is that there isn't a way to conduct an experiment on something of that caliber. Maybe if we were a top lab, but the only way I could see a question like this answered would be through research.
Hey, Vaughn, cool blog.
