By what percentage do women have greater blood flow than men to the prefrontal cortex?
I tried to find an answer on Google with no luck.
By what percentage is a woman's prefrontal cortex more active than a man's and by what percentage is it larger?

Not just the prefrontal cortex but white matter generally and to an order of 10x. This is why women are better at communicating and also why they're more likely to be emotional. Men on the other hand have 6.5x as much gray matter, controlling things like fight/flight response, cognitive and analytical thought. However, 99% of the human brain is still pretty much identical in men and women.
