About 20 years ago my research into brain mechanisms of emotional memory drew me into an issue about which I previously had zero interest: Sex influences on brain function. As I started to recognize the issue’s enormous importance, I switched my laboratory focus towards exploring, rather than ignoring, the issue. I also began more general efforts to help neuroscience move past its biases (all of which I had shared) and recognize that ignoring the issue, while perhaps once defensible, is no longer, and what is more, that ignoring the issue must disproportionately harm women. Twenty years later the biases against the issue remain strong among many, yet the situation has also changed irreversibly for the better. As I like to put it, neuroscience has turned a corner that cannot be unturned. I will try to capture where neuroscience was on the issue (and how it got there), where it seems to be today, and why I believe the issue is here to stay.
