Looking forward and Excited to be part of this week's symposium on "Sex and gender in neuroscience"!

What an interesting talk! We learned a lot from Gerlinde Metz from the University of Lethbridge about the sex-specific effects of multigenerational maternal stress on the offspring, such as the shift in the hemispheric dominance in males. 🧠

In his talk Markus Hausmann argued that a biopsychosocial model needs to be applied to research of sex/gender differences in neuroscience for more reliability and insight into the mechanisms underying the differences.

We are done with today's talks. See you tomorrow!

female_brain Affective Functioning, Hormones and the Brain Markus Hausmann Such interesting data and insight on sex differences in mental rotation, testosterone and self-efficacy!

Thanks for presenting and discussing your work!

The second day of the female brain symposium starts soon! The first part will be on "Sex & Mechanisms" and the second part on "Women & Gender" 🧠 Feel free to join! female_brain Uniklinikum Tübingen

Join Dr. Liisa Galea, myself and a number of other great speakers today at the female_brain symposium!

In her talk Kristina Herfert argues that molecular and functional imaging in rodents can contribute to understanding sex differences in the brain, especially when it comes to disorders affecting the brain as males and females might have different protective/vulnerability mechanisms.

I have greatly enjoyed these past two days of full immersion in the #sex and #gender research discussions focused on the importance of appropriate #classification, definition and experimental design to fill the gaps in our current knowledge of #neurological health and #disease!

According to Wendy Koss, sex differences appear in every Alzheimer disease (AD) aminal models. However, the pharmaceutical treatments have not yet addressed these differences. In AD entire hormonal milleu and intracellular mechanisms in males and females need to be addressed.

Our last session on „Sex and Gender“ starts with Dr. Claudia Barth (@nifti12.bsky.social) presenting data on sex hormones in the female brain across the life span

Thanks for presenting your data and contributing to the symposium and the discussions!

We are closing our event now. Thank you very much for the speakers who have joined us in the symposia and the audience in person as well as online. It was an invaluable event for us but - we hope - for you too. Until the next time!

female_brain So much sex (and gender)! Thank you for an excellent workshop with brilliant minds. I took notes like a grad student! So enjoyable. ♥️

Enjoyed the wonderful talk by Deon Neon yesterday about her fascinating work. Definitely looking forward to reading the outcomes of her ongoing work in the future! #WomensHealth

Awesome talk by Dr. Liisa Galea with very important messages. It was a pleasure to have you with us and get your invaluable insights. Looking forward to seeing you again this June IRTG2804 #WomensHealth

Realizing the current different views on sex/gender in neuroscience, which probably have more in common at the core, it is exciting to see how this field will move forward in the future - with symposium like these, a seed is definitely planted 🌱🧠

Thank you so much to female_brain for this amazing opportunity to connect with some of most brilliant researchers studying sex and gender in the brain!
