This week's speaker is Katharina Zuhlsdorff (Cambridge Neuroscience) who will be leading a discussion on theme of "Sexual dimorphism in preclinical research and its implications". Abstract below: Preclinical research in rodents is highly important for understanding the neurochemical basis of psychiatric disorders and has helped in the development of treatments for them. What can be observed from reviewing the literature is that most studies in the past have only used male subjects, but it is becoming more evident now that there are clear differences in the cognitive mechanisms between the sexes. We will be discussing the implications of this, especially in the translation of findings from rodents to humans, and future directions. We may also briefly discuss the role of computational modelling in aiding our understanding.
