Anxious for fear of making mistakes when doing certain tasks or situations it makes the brain work harder. It is more common in girls than boys.

The findings obtained by scientists from Michigan State University (MSU) of the brain revealed that anxious girls will work harder than boys. These results were obtained by measuring brain activity while performing a relatively simple task.

"It can help predict the development of anxiety problems later on in girls," said Jason Moser, principal investigator in this study, as quoted by Science Daily, Thursday (07/06/2012).

Moser said the brains of girls who are anxious to work harder in order to perform the task because it is generally thought they were distracted and worried about making mistakes.

"They will think so much and may have difficulty in increasing anxiety and arrange it so that the brain has to think harder," said Mores.

Moser and the current team of MSU researchers are investigating whether estrogen (a hormone that is more common in women) are likely responsible for the increased response in the brain.

"The difference between male hormones and this is likely to affect women, because estrogen release of dopamine in charge of a key neurotransmitter involved in learning and error process at the front of the brain," he said.

It required a natural way in reducing the anxiety that can help the brain to not work too hard, for example, by inhaling a deep breath, closed my eyes and also drinking water.

The results of this study are reported in the International Journal of Psychophysiology which measures the correlation between anxiety and errors related to brain response in both sexes. The study involved 79 girls and 70 boys.

The existence of menstruation makes the brain work to adjust the conditions sikus. The brain will produce hormones that accompany constant change with the velocity of each phase of the menstrual cycle. These hormones on energy berpengaru, senitivitas, the brain works, and performances.

Often women can guess it has something to use intuition. Women's brains are even able to work to identify lies by looking at clues from body language or nonverbal signals. Women have a very strong intuition. Do not be surprised if as if they were able to read minds. In addition, women are also to sensitive respond something. Enough women in the taking feelings when confronted with pain and fear, according to a study. As a result, they are easily stressed due to a problem not easily forget.
