Prenatal Testosterone in Mind: Amniotic Fluid Studies - Svetlana Lutchmaya, Rebecca Knickmeyer, Simon Baron-Cohen

Hypothesis: (human) male brains are more "lateralised" than female brains. Direct anatomical studies suggest the corpus collosum is larger in females. MRI study contradicts this (>100 subjects, x10 sample size of anatomical studies). This not fMRI and hence much more convincing. Still need large sample size study though, in my mind.
