The man's brain ages before the woman's brain:

Men's brains age worse than women's. The speed at which the brain atrophies is greater in males than in women and age worse, especially from the age of 80 years. This is one of the conclusions of the study carried out by researchers from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), the Universitat de València (UV) and the National Centre for Scientific Research of France-CNRS, in its French acronym, and published in the Human Brain Mapping magazine.

The work offers answers to the questions how the brain changes throughout our lives, what are the normal values of the volumes of the brain structures or if there are differences in the development of the brain throughout the life between men and Women.
A team of computer scientists, neurologists and biologists from these three centers have developed one of the most exhaustive studies carried out to date on the development of the human brain, by number of cases analyzed and age range evaluated, since it covers from That we are babies until old age, the academic institutions stand out through a statement.
In total, they have analyzed 2,944 images of brain magnetic resonance, healthy subjects aged between nine months and 95 years. Of all of them, 1,379 were women and 1,565 men. The images belong to public databases of nine European, American and Australian institutions.
In their study, they analyzed the volumes of the hippocampus, amygdala, putamen, accumbens, Globus palidus, thalamus and caudate, in addition to cerebrospinal fluid, gray substance and white matter.
