On the importance of including both sexes in animal studies – insights from home‐cage monitoring
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2408-2426, October 2026.ABSTRACT A review of behavioural studies using home‐cage monitoring (HCM) systems revealed that over 61% of studies used only male subjects, with only 24% including both sexes, despite evidence of substantial behavioural differences between male and female animals. This bias could influence the outcomes of biomedical research.
