About the Original Book:

When it comes to aging, society puts more pressure on women than men. Yet even as we become obsessed with staying youthful, there seems to a lack of serious conversation regarding brain health in women. Scientific research has been dominated by men, and the common assumption has been that whatever works for men will work for women. New research shows that this not the case. The female brain is unique in the way it processes information and responds to the environment. The XX Brain is Lisa Mosconi’s attempt to demystify the female brain and explain what women need to do to prevent neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.
