Women in Neuroscience 

This roundtable brings together scholars in cognition and neuroscience from around the world to examine the contributions, challenges, and emerging opportunities for women in the field. While women continue to advance major discoveries and shape our understanding of the brain, they remain underrepresented in some areas, particularly in senior and leadership roles. Through research insights and personal reflections, the panel considers progress to date, the barriers that persist, and how the discipline can better support diverse talent and perspectives.
