Goyal Overseeing a Brain Scan

Caption

Manu Goyal, MD, oversees a brain scan. Goyal and colleagues at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that women's brains appear to be three years younger than men's of the same age. The findings could explain why women maintain their cognitive skills longer than men.
