Abstract：
Sex and gender are associated with human behavior throughout the life span and across health and disease, but whether they are associated with similar or distinct neural phenotypes is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that, in children, sex and gender are uniquely reflected in the intrinsic functional connectivity of the brain. Somatomotor, visual, control, and limbic networks are preferentially associated with sex, while network correlates of gender are more distributed throughout the cortex. These results suggest that sex and gender are irreducible to one another not only in society but also in biology.
摘要：
性别和性别与人类一生中以及健康和疾病的行为有关，但它们是否与相似或不同的神经表型相关尚不清楚。这里,我们证明，在儿童中，性别和性别独特地反映在大脑的内在功能连接上。躯体运动,视觉，control,边缘网络优先与性别相关，而性别的网络相关性更多地分布在整个皮层中。这些结果表明，性别和性别不仅在社会上而且在生物学上都是不可还原的。
