The brain is increasingly conceived as an open biological system developing in mutual interchange with experiences (brain plasticity). Such embodying of the social contests the nature-nurture dichotomy as well as binary sex differences, and, instead, highlights the sex/gender development of brain-behaviour relations. In the transdisciplinary NeuroGenderings network, scholars from neurosciences, gender/queer and feminist science technology studies develop conceptual approaches to analyze the entangled biological, social, and cultural variables that constitute sexed/gendered brains whilst acknowledging their diversity.
