Whole brain dimensional approach identifies shared and sex-specific networks of stress susceptibility in male and female mice.

Background: Stress is a significant risk factor for depression and anxiety, two highly comorbid disorders with sex differences in symptom presentation and prevalence. The Chronic Variable Stress (CVS)...

The difference between the number of men and women listed as authors on scientific papers and inventors on patents is at least partly attributable to unacknowledged contributions by women scientists.
