There are opportunities to improve neuroscience that include lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. In this review, we briefly describe how the history of LGBT people in psychiatry has influenced neuroimaging approaches; how these attitudes have shifted over time; and what we can do to ensure that our future work is rigorous, ethical, and in service of the LGBT community. We suggest ways to refine neuroimaging methodologies to improve our understanding of marginalization and stigma while shifting away from research that focuses solely on the "etiology" or origins of LGBT identities. We also offer suggestions for conducting representative research that is LGBT-inclusive, regardless of the population of interest.
存在改善神经科学的机会，其中包括女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和跨性别（LGBT）群体。在本综述中，我们简要描述了LGBT群体在精神病学领域的历史如何影响神经成像方法；这些态度如何随时间推移而转变；以及我们可以做些什么来确保我们未来的工作严谨、符合道德规范并服务于LGBT群体。我们提出了完善神经成像方法的途径，以增进我们对边缘化和污名化的理解，同时摆脱仅专注于LGBT身份“病因”或起源的研究。我们还为开展具有代表性的、包含LGBT群体的研究提供建议，无论研究关注的人群是什么。
