The gendered bias in research has a real-world impact: focus on male over female mice of a mouse model means that the female brain is less understood. This research gap results in the misdiagnosis of mental and neurological conditions in women, inadequate treatment, increased medication side effects, and more. Beginning to shift from male mice to female mice could mean better outcomes and treatment options — not just for women, but for everyone.
