Sex differences in the brain are real and clinically important but often grossly distorted in popular discourse. Considering the public's deep fascination with sex difference research and its impact on issues from mental health to education and workplace equity, neuroscientists should pay greater heed to its misappropriation and to studying how gender enculturation shapes neural function.
大脑中的性别差异是真实存在的，且具有重要的临床意义，但在大众话语中却经常被严重扭曲。鉴于公众对性别差异研究的浓厚兴趣，以及它对从心理健康到教育和职场公平等问题的影响，神经科学家应该更加关注其被不当使用的情况，并研究性别文化如何塑造神经功能。
