On the Spot: Louann Brizendine, MD, Author of The Female Brain

Our first volunteer is Louann Brizendine, MD. Brizendine completed her degree in Neurobiology at UC Berkeley, graduated from Yale School of Medicine, did graduate work in London at UCL in Philosophy of Mind and History of Science and Medicine, and completed a residency in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. She has served on the faculties of Harvard Medical School and the UCSF School of Medicine. On August 1, 2006, Brizendine published her first book, The Female Brain. She calls the book an "owner's manual" for women, showing how the female brain sees the world differently and reacts differently than the male brain in every stage of life from newborn to old age. If you have a question or comment for Dr. Brizendine, please post it here.
