Male brains are wired to make them ignore food and look for a mate instead, according to new research.
The study by the University of Rochester Medical Centre points to how subtle changes in the brain's circuitry dictate differences in behaviour between males and females.
Assistant Professor Douglas Portman said: "While we know that human behaviour is influenced by numerous factors, including cultural and social norms, these findings point to basic biological mechanisms that may not only help explain some differences in behaviour between males and females, but why different sexes may be more susceptible to certain neurological disorders."
