I can personally say that I, and every boy I know of, lost a significant number of brain cells through puberty.

If this was the case, you would expect to see a significant change in relative gender IQ scores before and after puberty. IQ doesn't measure everything, but it measures enough that a change like you are hypothesizing should be observable. I am not aware of any such feature of the IQ testing data that would support this, though I don't claim to be an authoritative source

It definitely happened to me. And it seems to have happened to every other male I know.
