Researchers found distinct neural networks for sex and gender in children, emphasizing separate considerations in medical contexts.
Researchers from the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research have found that sex and gender in children have distinct neural networks, which could help in understanding how sex and gender influence health outcomes. The study, published in Science Advances, discovered that sex (assigned at birth) and gender (identity and expression) have separate impacts on the brain, emphasizing the need for separate considerations in medical contexts to ensure equal access to optimal treatment outcomes.
