Richard Wassersug, a urologic sciences professor at UBC, was interviewed by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation for a story on the impacts of testosterone.
Wassersug is an expert on the effects of androgen deprivation therapy, which stops the production of testosterone to prevent cancer from growing.
“It’s actually problems like working through a maze or finding your car in a parking lot that are the actual cognitive challenges that men [losing testosterone] have,” he said.” This is sort of known already because women typically use a slightly different navigational strategy than men. Women pay attention to landmarks, and it appears to be related to testosterone.”
