Beautiful Minds A Little Matter of Gender 4/5

Synopsis
An investigation into the differences between male and female brains, using the mysterious savants as a key area of study.

The differences between male and female brains have plagued scientists for centuries but with new brain scanning technologies, they can now examine exactly what goes on inside our heads.

Of particular interest are savants; a small but highly intelligent group of people who can multiply 5-digit numbers without a calculator, speak a dozen languages or recite 12,000 books from memory.

Six out of seven savants are male, begging the question: how big is this little difference between male and female brains? Could gender be the key to the savant's capacity for genius?
