Abstract: Historically, neuroscience paid little if any attention to sex
influences outside a limited area of reproductive functions. But all that
is changing, and ever rapidly, with a flurry of discoveries the past 10
years in particular about sex influences on brain function down to the
molecular level. My area of emotional memory is no exception. This talk
will examine these developments, and detail how they are apparently
irreversibly, and fundamentally, altering how the NIH funds not just
neuroscience, but all of biological science.
