Abstract
Purpose: The cognitive domains are assessed by cognitive tests and these assessments are different between man and woman in every test, this study assessed brain function by cognitive domains among men and women.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was done on a sample of 15 to 75 years old of 80 female and 80 male. All participants did Neuro-Cognitive Computer Battery (NCCB) after training and consent. Participants of both groups were physically and mentally examined and approved by specialist physicians.
Results: According to NCCB was no significant difference between two groups in attention domains (0.05< p).
Conclusion: Findings of current study show a similar attention in mentioned tests.
