为什么男性方向感更强？最新研究告诉你

For many men, the idea that they have a better sense of direction than women was never in doubt, but now a scientific study has proved it.

很多男性都坚信自己的方向感要比女性的强，而现在更有科学研究证实了该说法。

Researchers from Norway scanned the brains of volunteers as they completed navigation tasks to discover men are more adept at finding their way because they use a separate part of their brain.

挪威的研究人员在志愿者完成导航任务后，对他们的大脑进行了扫描，结果发现男性更善于找路，因为他们的大脑中有单独的区域分管方向识别。

Adding fuel to the fire, when women had testosterone dropped onto their tongues, their navigational skills improved.

更不可思议的是，向女性舌头上滴了睾丸素后，她们的方向感也提升了。

Using 3D goggles and a joystick, a total of 36 participants - 18 men and 18 women - had to orient themselves in a large virtual maze while functional images of their brains were continuously recorded.

共有36人参与了此项研究，男女各18人。他们需要佩戴3D眼镜，使用操纵杆在一个巨大的虚拟迷宫中找出路。与此同时，研究人员会跟踪记录这些人的大脑运转图像。

In the MRI scanner, they were given 30 seconds for each of the 45 navigation tasks. One of the tasks, for example, was to 'find the yellow car' from different starting points.
