Gina Rippon

¿Entiende los mapas o interpreta las emociones? ¿Barbie o Lego? ¿Tiene un cerebro femenino o un cerebro masculino? ¿O esta es la pregunta equivocada? Vivimos en un mundo dividido en función del género, en el que constantemente recibimos mensajes sobre los dos sexos. Nos enfrentamos a diario a convicciones muy arraigadas de que nuestro genero determina las aptitudes y las preferencias, desde los juguetes y los colores hasta los estudios y los salarios. Pero ¿que significa todo esto para nuestras decisiones y nuestro comportamiento? ¿Y para nuestros cerebros? Basandose en su trabajo como catedratica de Neuroimagen Cognitiva, Gina Rippon desentraña los estereotipos que nos bombardean desde nuestros primeros dias de vida y demuestra como esos mensajes moldean la idea que tenemos de nosotros mismos e incluso de nuestros cerebros. Con su exploracion de la mas vanguardista neurociencia, Rippon nos exhorta a superar una vision binaria de nuestros cerebros y a verlos como unos organos complejos, muy individualizados, profundamente adaptables y llenos de un potencial ilimitado. Riguroso, oportuno y liberador, El genero y nuestros cerebros tiene inmensas repercusiones para mujeres y hombres, padres e hijos, y para nuestra forma de identificarnos
