Sex bias in neuroscience and biomedical research
10 biological fields for 2009; male bias in 8; neuroscience single-sex male studies outnumbered female 5.5 to 1; male bias in non-human studies increased over the past half-century while declining in human studies; belief that female animals are intrinsically more variable is without foundation.
