SUMMARY:Twenty years of sex influences on the brain: Some perspective on w

DESCRIPTION:About 20 years ago my research into brain mechanisms of emotio
 nal memory drew me into an issue about which I previously had zero interes
 t: Sex influences on brain function. As I started to recognize the issue
 ’s enormous importance\, I switched my laboratory focus towards explorin
 g\, 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 re
 cognize that ignoring the issue\, while perhaps once defensible\, is no lo
 nger\, 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 bette
 r. As I like to put it\, neuroscience has turned a corner that cannot be u
 nturned. I will try to capture where neuroscience was on the issue (and ho
 w it got there)\, where it seems to be today\, and why I believe the issue
  is here to stay.
