Yeah, the antenna theory of brain activity. I've heard of that.
It's not about "boy" and "girl" brain, that's a surface level thing, the split is more along the lines of analytical modes of thought, and more emphatic modes of thought.
"In a 2014 study, University of Pennsylvania researchers imaged the brains of 428 male and 521 female youths — an uncharacteristically huge sample — and found that the females' brains consistently showed more strongly coordinated activity between hemispheres, while the males' brain activity was more tightly coordinated within local brain regions."
