“…VEP studies have shown that early components (e.g., P50, N70, and P100) have higher amplitudes (La Marche et al, ; Celesia et al, ; Mitchell et al, ; Shibata et al, ; Sharma et al, ) and/or shorter latencies (Stockard et al, ; Celesia et al, ; Emmerson‐Hanover et al, ; Shibata et al, ; Malcolm et al, ; Langrova et al, ; Proverbio et al, ; Sharma et al, ) in females compared with males (but see Grabowska et al, ). There is evidence that the properties of these VEP components are related to contrast sensitivity (discussed earlier) performance (Allen et al, ; Norcia et al, ; Souza et al, ), although the sex differences seen in these studies may have been secondary to underlying anatomical differences (Christie and McBrearty, ; Dekaban and Sadowsky, ; Reilly et al, ; Allison et al, ). Other studies have shown that sex differences in VEPs are not related to differences in gonadal hormones (Buchsbaum et al, ; Dyer and Swartzwelder, ) and arise in the visual cortex, not in the retina (Celesia et al, ; Tomoda et al, ).…”

This Mini-Review summarizes a wide range of sex differences in the human visual system, with a primary focus on sex differences in visual perception and its neural basis. We highlight sex differences in both basic and high-level visual processing, with evidence from behavioral, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging studies. We argue that sex differences in human visual processing, no matter how small or subtle, support the view that females and males truly see the world differently. We acknowledge some of the controversy regarding sex differences in human vision and propose that such controversy should be interpreted as a source of motivation for continued efforts to assess the validity and reliability of published sex differences and for continued research on sex differences in human vision and the nervous system in general.

“…Comparison of the circadian temperature rhythms of young women versus young men reveals a very different pattern of gender differences than that seen in elderly subjects. Young females have a higher mean temperature 19 , 20 , 21 and a smaller amplitude than young males 21 , 22 . With regard to phase, results have been inconsistent.…”

Body core temperature was measured in healthy elderly men and women under entrained conditions. Female subjects showed a larger amplitude and a higher peak temperature than male subjects. In addition, acrophase was advanced for females by an average of 49 minutes. Variability in acrophase was greater for males than females. This pattern of gender differences varies considerably from the pattern others have observed in young subjects, suggesting that aging may affect the circadian timing system of males and females differently.

“…Several studies have reported that females generally have larger P100 amplitudes than males (3,7,8,13,26,39), and elderly females have shorter latencies and increased amplitudes compared with elderly males (4, 12, 18, 39±42). It has been suggested that the shorter P100 latency in females compared with males is due to the smaller brain volume (8), head size (43), the higher core temperature (44,45), endocrine factors (16) or sex hormones (46).…”

Iwata M. Visual evoked potentials in cerebral white matter hyperintensity on MRI. Acta Neurol Scand 2000: 102: 230±235. # Munksgaard 2000.Objectives ± To investigate the correlation of the cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMH) on MRI, and latency and amplitude of visual evoked potentials (VEPs) in elderly subjects. Patients and methods ± Pattern VEP (PVEP) and¯ash VEP (FVEP) were recorded in 25 patients with WMH consisting of 12 patients with frontal dominant WMH (FMH) and 13 patients with occipital dominant WMH (OMH) and 25 patients with basal ganglionic hyperintensities (BGH). Results ± In WMHs, there were signi®cantly larger P100 and P2 amplitudes than in BGHs and controls. Regarding the distribution of WMH, OMH showed signi®cantly larger P100 amplitudes than FMH. In OMH in males, there was signi®cantly prolonged P100 latency compared with females, and in females, there were signi®cantly larger P100 and P2 amplitudes compared with males. Conclusion ± Appropriate clinical values in VEP should take into consideration WMH in addition to gender and agerelated changes.
