See, for example,

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2867482/

And see also:

https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2015/11/brains-men-and-women-aren-t-really-different-study-finds

And, again, I point to the work of Anne Fausto-Sterling and Cordelia Fine and the research they cite and interpret. For instance, Fausto-Sterling’s _Sex/Gender: Biology in a Social World_ and Fine’s _Delusions of Gender: How Our Minds, Society, and Neurosexism Create Difference_.
