Agnès Lacreuse, professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, discusses the importance of countering sex bias in neurological study. “It’s a paralyzing and controversial subject, but it’s very dangerous to think that we should not study sex differences,” she says. As sex can influence multiple aspects of brain behavior and disease, “It is really important to include women in all studies, and while our studies speak about differences, it doesn't mean that one is better than the other.”
