Only 0.5 percent of neuroscience papers address women&#8217;s health issues, and comprehensive longitudinal brain data across pregnancy, for instance, is still sparse.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Historical Exclusion of Female Subjects<\/strong>: Historically, female animals were largely excluded from preclinical research due to false premises about variability; this has changed to include female subjects, but data gaps remain, affecting AI&#8217;s effectiveness.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Importance of Inclusive Data Collection<\/strong>: To improve AI\u2019s potential in understanding how reproductive health influences the brain, it is crucial to collect standardized reproductive health data alongside neuroimaging studies. This includes menstrual cycles, contraceptive use, pregnancies, and menopause, among other factors.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Gender Imbalance in AI and Neuroscience<\/strong>: A significant gender imbalance exists both in AI research and neuroscience faculty, with women representing a smaller percentage despite comprising half of neuroscience Ph.D. students.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Efforts to Bridge Gender Gaps<\/strong>: Initiatives to recruit more women into AI and promote AI literacy among women\u2019s brain health researchers are underway, including organizing data challenges to encourage female participation in AI research.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Long-term Vision for AI and Neuroscience<\/strong>: The goal is to use AI once sufficient data on women\u2019s brain health is available to reveal how genetics, sex hormones, gender, and life events impact the brain, ensuring discoveries benefit everyone.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Large-scale neuroimaging datasets often lack information specific to women\u2019s health, constraining AI\u2019s analysis potential https:\/\/www.thetransmitter.org\/brain-imaging\/large-scale-neuroimaging-datasets-often-lack-information-specific-to-womens-health-constraining-ais-analysis-potential\/&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":196212,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.thetransmitter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cropped-Kuceyeski-women-health_data-525-.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-196211","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196211"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=196211"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196211\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":196213,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196211\/revisions\/196213"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/196212"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=196211"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=196211"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=196211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
