Years ago I read Brain Sex by Anne Moir and David Jessel and learned that women's brains are more decentralized than men's. For example, multiple different brain regions might be responsible for language in women, whereas fewer brain regions are involved in language in men, which may explain why women can have more successful recoveries from stroke injuries.
I am very curious to know whether there are sex differences in your deaf subjects and in your hearing subjects in terms of the connectivity within and between brain regions and across hemispheres. Did you examine this at all or do you have plans to?
