                  the Female Brain - Louann Brizandine Speaker: Dr. 
                  Louann Brizendine - Director of the Women's & Teen Girl's 
                  Mood & Hormone Clinic, UCSF and Author of The Female 
                  Brain. With over two decades of unique brain-body 
                  research, Dr. Brizendine explores the age old question "why do 
                  women think so differently from men"? As a medical student and 
                  resident, Dr. Brizendine discovered that almost all neurology, 
                  psychology, and neurobiology data focused exclusively on men. 
                  In response she established the first clinic in the country to 
                  study and treat women's brain functions. Learn the scientific 
                  reasoning why women and men think, communicate, and fall in 
                  love differently. For more information, please contact Trish 
                  Newfarmer at (408) 351-3477.
