and it's all down to hormonal changes at puberty it seems

'Male and female brains showed few differences in connectivity up to the age of 13, but became more differentiated in 14- to 17-year-olds.'

...or maybe it's the lingering effect of socialization. The way our neuronal connections are reinforced or instead decay is highly dependent on what we do with them, and thus by our life experiences.

If socialization was the main cause for this, we should expect differences to show up earlier than puberty because people enforce gender norms looooonnng before puberty. Changes suddenly popping up in puberty suggest a biological cause.

I don't know how exactly this process works and I don't know how the assimilation of gender norms is received at different stages of development. But the information we have here is not sufficient to draw conclusions on the biological origins of differences.
