However in males an anti-Mullerian hormone is there to prevent further development of female sex organs. The testes then produce androgens which stimulate the development of male sex organs. After hormones have played a part in the development of gender this affects the brain lateralisation. There has been some evidence to suggest that females show less brain lateralisation for language
