fMRI study shows why driving and cell phones don't mix

The reason talking on a cell phone makes drivers less safe may be that the brain can't simultaneously give full attention to both the visual task of driving and the auditory task of listening, suggests a study by a psychologist from Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore.

But heres my million dollar question.

Which of the sexes is effected more than the other.

I would bet a million dollars on the answer if I had it and the results we're unbiased

I would love to conduct a study like this. Cognitive neuropsychology is great!

This is confusing - at first it sounds like you're describing an fMRI study (though the images that accompany the video are largely of anatomical without an overlay). Your final images suggest that you're doing something like white matter fiber tracking/DTI - perhaps in conjunction with an fMRI analysis? This didn't come across well though the research questions are interesting...
