| Popis: | Not long ago, neuroscientists overwhelmingly assumed that sex influences on brain function almost exclusively concerned the hypothalamus and related reproductive functions. That view is now crushed under the weight of evidence from the past 15 to 20 years proving that sex influences exist at all levels of brain function, down to the level of genes and ion channels. So overwhelming is the evidence that the assumption still prominent among neuroscientists that one can study one sex (generally the male) and learn equally about the brain of the other should no longer be considered scientifically justifiable. |
