Group-specific discriminant analysis reveals statistically validated sex differences in lateralization of brain functional network [PDF]
Lateralization is a fundamental feature of the human brain, where sex differences have been observed. Conventional studies in neuroscience on sex-specific lateralization are typically conducted on univariate statistical comparisons between male and female groups. However, these analyses often lack effective validation of group specificity.

Decoding Dmrt1: Insights into vertebrate sex determination and gonadal sex differentiation [PDF]
Dmrt1 is pivotal in testis formation and function by interacting with genes crucial for Sertoli cell differentiation. Dmrt1, or Sox9, forms a conserved antagonistic interaction with Foxl2 across mammals. Across 128 vertebrate species, Dmrt1 exhibits sexually dimorphic expression, implicating its role in master regulation of sex determination and ...
