My perspective in The Transmitter on the role of AI and neuroimaging in advancing women’s brain health. “To put it bluntly, we need to recruit more AI researchers to be interested in women’s brain health, and we need to make women’s brain health researchers more fluent in AI.” tinyurl.com/4mvytsdu

thetransmitter.org

Large-scale neuroimaging datasets often lack information specific to women’s health, constraining AI’s analysis potential

Addressing this gap will require collecting widespread data on pregnancy, menopause and other life events women experience—and could bring us closer to the “holy grail” of linking brain and behavior.

There are sex differences in brain connectivity and some of them become more pronounced with age. A particular spike happens during puberty, for example. It was fascinating to dig into this for @nature.com 🧪 🧵 1/11 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Brain differences between sexes get more pronounced from puberty

Study could help reveal why some mental health disorders vary between men and women — but it's not clear whether the differences are due to sex or gender.

💊 🍸 Risk for substance use disorder (SUD) rises in adolescence. Family history and biological sex play major roles in a person's level of SUD risk. New evidence suggests neural markers of SUD may exist before substance use starts - yet how these markers differ across sexes is not understood.

Only 0.5% of neuroscience research focuses on issues exclusive to the female body. Let’s be the change. 🧠💪
