Revisitando el fantasma en la máquina: el sexo del cerebro
Resumen
Si los cuerpos de ambos sexos son distintos se debe a que, a nivel evolutivo, cumplen con tareas distintas. Si nuestro cerebro no es un órgano aparte, separado del resto del organismo, entonces tiene que recoger necesariamente parte de esta distinción. En este trabajo veremos el desarrollo del cerebro y cuán diferentes son los cerebros de los hombres y las mujeres, cómo generan diferencias en la conducta y qué relación tiene con la «identidad de género» y la transexualidad. Igualmente, veremos cómo el activismo científico ha pasado por alto cuestiones metodológicas para ofrecer una narrativa ideológica, y cómo podemos detectar estos sesgos. Finalmente, presentamos argumentos contra la separación artificial que los académicos quieren hacer, en neurociencia, del «yo» y su sustrato.
