Sex bias and omission exists in Batten disease research: Systematic review of the use of animal disease models
2022, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Molecular Basis of DiseaseSex bias and omission in neuroscience research is influenced by research model and journal, but not reported NIH funding
2020, Frontiers in NeuroendocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Historically, sex bias and omission pervaded research subject selection in neuroscience research. Sex bias is defined as the favoring of one sex over another, and neuroscience research has consistently favored the use of males over females (Beery and Zucker, 2011; Berkley, 1992; Mogil and Chanda, 2005; Shansky and Woolley, 2016; Will et al., 2017). Sex omission is defined as the lack of reporting research subject sex.
Female mice liberated for inclusion in neuroscience and biomedical research
2014, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsCitation Excerpt :This argues strongly for a female presence in virtually all protocols. The exclusion of females from animal research has been repeatedly highlighted (Berkley, 1992; Mogil and Chanda, 2005; Becker et al., 2005; Hughes, 2007; Beery and Zucker, 2011). A 2009 survey documented male bias in 8 disciplines, with ratios of male-only versus female-only studies ranging from 3.7:1 in physiology to 5:1 in pharmacology and neuroscience (Beery and Zucker, 2011).
Sex bias in neuroscience and biomedical research
2011, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsCitation Excerpt :What remains in question is whether present-day research on animal models is sufficiently attentive to female subjects, and whether appropriate species are investigated. Previous analyses of a few journals and disciplines revealed a strong male sex bias (e.g., Berkley, 1992; Blanchard et al., 1995; Sechzer et al., 1994). To gain a contemporary view of sex bias in the human and animal literatures, we systematically sampled journal articles from 2009 across a broad range of disciplines, including several that have not been canvassed for decades, and others never previously surveyed.
Sex and gender differences in pain and analgesia
2010, Progress in Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :There were no apparent trends toward increased use of female subjects in this decadal period. In fact, the only sign of progress was that subject sex was reported in 97% of papers, in contrast to Karen Berkley’s survey of neuroscience papers from 1991 in which subject sex was reported in only 55% (Berkley, 1992). The male bias in basic science research is by no means limited to the pain field (Beery and Zucker, 2010).
