Conjunctive brains: Untangling Sex and Gender

Join us for a thought-provoking seminar that delves into the crucial question: How can neuroscience define sex and gender in the brain? This event will explore the imperative need to integrate a nuanced understanding of sex and gender into neuroscience research. As we unravel the intricate interplay between biology, identity, and behavior, our speakers will discuss the biological origins of sex and gender, gender-specific brain differences, and how we can consolidate sex and gender in the brain, shedding light on the implications for neuroscience, mental health, treatment strategies, and the broader societal understanding of the human mind. Don't miss out on this opportunity to be present at this integral discussion in neuroscience, challenging conventional perspectives and paving the way for a more inclusive and comprehensive approach to neuroscience research.
