Abstract
There have been conflicting results regarding the differences between men and women on the function and structure of the brain. To address this question, we propose a novel method to distinguish the effects of sex on brain structure and function based on identifying subgroups that maximize the between-sex differences. In a large sample of 19975 women and 17568 men, we demonstrate that our method can identify individuals at the extremities of the "maleness-femaleness" continuum and is able to quantify the maleness/femaleness of their features. These findings have widespread implications for studies assessing sex and its impact on the brain.
