Sinirbilimde Süper Kadınlar

Abstract

The emergence of women is seen as occurring very early when we examine the growth of neuroscience and related sciences globally. From the ancient Roman graves to the present, there are numerous examples of contributions made by women in the area of medicine. Female neuroscientists have faced several challenges, particularly gender inequality, like in every other scientific discipline. All these difficulties have been encountered by numerous female neuroscientists, many of whom have found great success. Some of the female neuroscientists who opened the door for us are Sofia Ionescu, Diana Beck, Aysima Altınok, Alexa Canady, M. Deborah Hyde, Augusta Dejerine Klumpke, Julia Barlow Platt, Laura Forster, Manuela Serra, and Mara Soledad Ruiz-Capillas. These superwomen are wives, mothers, and grandmothers, in addition to all their other achievements. As female neuroscientists, it is important for us to be aware of the inspiring tales of these women who have paved the way for us and inspired future generations to endure in the face of difficulties. For future generations, hearing the tales of the superwomen who propelled women to this position in neuroscience will serve as motivation and inspiration. We also think that raising awareness about this field will contribute to the recognition of female neuroscientists in the future.
