This talk sets the stage for exploring the complex interactions between sex/gender and brain function, particularly as they relate to neurological disorders. Acknowledging sex/gender disparities in neuroscience research and brain disease manifestations is essential to understand these gaps for advancement of comprehensive research and precision medicine. This highlights the need for comprehensive research initiatives to elucidate the complex mechanisms underlying sex/sex-specific brain function and neurological disorders. By exploring these complexities, this session aims to illuminate the multifaceted nature of sex/gender gaps in brain health and pave the way for more integrated interventions by professionals across diverse sectors of society.
