What have we been missing? New insights into Pavlovian fear conditioning from careful consideration of sex as a biological variable

Rebecca Shansky earned her PhD in Neurobiology at Yale University and completed postdoctoral work at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine before joining the faculty in the Psychology Department at Northeastern University in 2011. She directs the Laboratory of Neuroanatomy and Behavior, where her team uses rodent models to explore the links between brain structure and function, focusing on how individual differences in response to trauma shape long-term memories. She is a vocal advocate for gender and sex equity in experimental design, highlighted recently in her Science Magazine Perspective piece, “Are hormones a ‘female problem’ for animal research?”
