About this Research Topic
At present, fewer than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women from pursuing a career in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. Although underrepresented, and sometimes unacknowledged, female researchers have been crucial to scientific advances. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.
Therefore, the Cognitive Neuroscience section is proud to shed light on great female researchers and provide them with a platform to showcase their work and role in open science. This important editorial initiative, led by Dr. Mekary and Dr. Bruno highlights particular advances in Cognitive Neuroscience research.
Although all manuscripts in relation to Cognitive Neuroscience are welcome, of particular relevance are articles on the following
• Multisensory integration in brain-damaged patients
• Noninvasive brain stimulation and its impact on bodily self-representation
• Investigating the links between neurodegenerative diseases and mental health/illness
• Examining the effects of stress, exercise, and nutrition on the brain
• Exploring the impact of smoking, pollution, and cannabis on brain function
Please note: to be considered for this collection, the first or last author should be a researcher who identifies as female and we encourage a prevalence of female representatives in the co-author list.
