The continually advancing landscape of neuroscientific and imaging research has broadened our comprehension of sex differences encoded in the human brain, expanding from the hypothalamus and sexual behaviour to encompass the entire brain, including its diverse lobes, structures, and functions. However, less is known about sex differences in the brains of neonates and infants, despite their relevance to various sex-linked diseases that develop early in life. In this review, we provide a synopsis of the literature evidence on sex differences in the brains of neonates and infants at the morphological, structural and network levels. We also briefly overview the present evidence on the sex bias in some brain disorders affecting infants and neonates.
神经科学和成像研究的不断发展,拓宽了我们对人类大脑中性别差异的理解,研究范围从下丘脑和性行为扩展到整个大脑,包括其不同的脑叶、结构和功能。然而,对于新生儿和婴儿大脑中的性别差异,尽管它们与生命早期出现的各种与性别相关的疾病有关,但我们知之甚少。在这篇综述中,我们总结了关于新生儿和婴儿大脑在形态、结构和网络水平上的性别差异的文献证据。我们还简要概述了目前关于影响婴儿和新生儿的一些脑部疾病存在性别偏差的证据。
