Multiscale Mapping of Sex Differences in the Human Brain to Target Studies of Inter-Individual Variation

Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre 

Humans show profound inter-individual variation in brain organization. The potential for sex differences in the sources of this variance has important consequences for both basic and clinical neuroscience. This talk will present recent work that: (i) asks if humans show reproducible sex differences in regional brain organization using large open multimodal neuroimaging datasets: (ii) tests for inter-individual coherence between these different phenotypic axes, and (iii) probes numerous potential sources of sex specific phenotypic variation. The results inform discussions on personalized neuroscience as a function of sex and the related, but distinct concept of gender.
