La dicotomí­a de los sexos puesta en jaque desde una perspectiva cerebral

Contenido principal del artículo

Lucía Ciccia

Resumen

En el presente trabajo, evidenciaré los sesgos y las falencias metodológicas de los estudios neurocientí­ficos orientados a corroborar la existencia de un dimorfismo sexual cerebral. Al demostrar que tal existencia es inválida, caracterizaré el cerebro como un órgano estratégico a partir del cual reinterpretar los conceptos de sexo y género, y el ví­nculo existente entre ambos. Dicha reinterpretación supone romper con la actual lectura dicotómica de los cuerpos, cuyos fines prescriptivos y normativos terminan siendo un obstáculo para la investigación biomédica y la práctica clí­nica.
