A new brain-imaging study of young adolescents has shown that sex and gender map onto different brain networks.
Physiological sex is largely determined by chromosomes, genes, hormones and other biological systems.
Cultural ideas about what it means to be a man, woman or nonbinary person also play a critical role shaping people’s life and behavior.
This is important to understand because gender-related differences in the brain could impact how psychiatric disorders manifest across the gender spectrum.
Because the research was only done in children, it's also not clear whether gender would map onto the brain differently from sex in adults.
Dhamala ’s team plans to rerun similar analyses on the same group of children as they grow.
